> If NY thinks it's a joke, and it isn't being useful by being there, then NY should be calling for it to be sent somewhere else. It's not the state of New York ("NY"), it's New York hospital executives. Why should they send it somewhere else when the situation can be improved? The Navy must have agreed with the assessment, since they have changed their process. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/nyregion/coronavirus-ny-updates.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/03/nyregion/coronavirus-ny-u... Emphasis mine: “The secretary of defense is making a risk assessment to determine whether or not we should take on” patients who have tested positive, General Milley told Fox News. His comments came after New York hospital executives complained Thursday that the Comfort was sitting in New York Harbor largely empty while hospitals in the city were overrun. By late Thursday, only 20 patients had been transferred to the Comfort, even as New York hospitals struggled to find space for thousands infected with the coronavirus. Earlier Friday, the Navy announced it would streamline the admission process for patients at the Comfort. Going forward, patients will be evaluated at the Comfort’s dock rather than at city hospitals, and they will no longer have to test negative for the coronavirus before being admitted.
