Currently, patients but be evaluated at city hospitals and test negative for CV-19 before being transferred to USNS. It sounds as if it's administrative hurdle rather than actual medical aid.Lemons wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 6:35 pmYou lie! As of yesterday they had 22 patients.WellPreserved wrote: ↑Sat Apr 04, 2020 6:30 pm Yesterday NPR interviewed staff on USNS Comfort and they are not prepared to deal with Coronavirus patients. They are there to take care of the other emergency care patients so that NYC hospitals can be free to care exclusively for CV19 patients. At the time, they had only 20 patients but stated that there were complications in getting non-cv-19 patients to the USNS and expected those numbers to go up.
They are operational but their role is limited. Same with Samaritan's Purse field hospital in Central Park.
I hope they can become fully operational soon. The federal government is moving way too slowly on everything.
It is a beautiful ship and looks good on video.
I thought I understood them to intentionally not be taking covid patients, that their purpose was specifically to take the non-covid cases and let the hospital concentrate on covid. I was guessing that was likely to keep people separated that had other medical issues, so that they didn't risk being in the same space and possibly picking covid up. I understood it to be purposeful and not an administrative hurdle.
