#1 So, there are far less than 1000 patients in NYC without the virus. Someone is not telling the truth about the virus numbers it would seem or someone is playing political games with people's lives.

#2 Yahoo "news"? Why are there only 20 patients on the Comfort? Gangways too narrow? Trump's (explanation not necessary) fault? Hospitals not filling out the proper forms? Proper forms not yet available? Chinese interference?

Maybe the Comfort is for non-WuFlu patients and those have all been sent home, or told to stay home (delay your procedure)?

The comment from Michael Dowling (we're in a battlefield) was particularly pointless.

#3 Bet on bureaucrats. NY state licensing of facility, out of state personnel, and triple-damned ACA compliance as well as hospital billing issues .

#4 Mrs. Bobby made a good point on this topic: Fewer shootings, stabbings, and car crashes to send folks to the 'regular' hospitals.

How's Chicago doing? I mean, murder-wise.
