The NY hospital ship was not accepting covid cases. It was to offload non virus patients after rigorous screening. Otherwise the NY hospitals were packed full. Subsequently since most were locked down emergency needs for the ship were lessened. Like fewer traffic accidents, gun shot wounds, etc. It was a good gesture but wasn't utilized at the time for what was needed. Originally Posted by royamcrLemme see if I got you here. NYC is such a chite hole that their hospitals are overrun by violent crime victims, perpetrators, addicts and klutzes on the average year. As such, they can't handle an unexpected influx. Basically, they are always are running at high occupancy levels.
Or are you saying that if you take away everyone's freedom to move about, interact and participate in free commerce that there will be less crime and accidents? Like say you might see in a prison, for example. I do recall that in the Chyyyna, they had roving government patrols going around town and welding their "citizen's" (subjects) front doors shut.
But then, why wouldn't you want to isolated the people infested with the covid on a ship, away from the general population? Though there was also an edict from Cuomo to force suspected covid infested people, even younger ones into state nursing homes, who happened to typically cater to the elderly, who as you may recall, were the most vulnerable and susceptible to the ravages of the covid - such as advanced age and multiple comorbidities.
Seems like one of the biggest cluster-flops in action, managed by an erratic dictator to me. Oh wait! Are you Chairman Xi IRL?
