Again, the federal government had the Jafitts center open and the USS comfort open and they were kept empty. Those would’ve been the perfect place to stash nursing home patients who were well enough to leave the hospital but still contagious. Even in my little town, when the lockdown happened, all the closed County rec centers were turned into Covid hotels for anybody who was recovering who happened to live in a group setting. But for Cuomo, using facilities that the feds set up would mean he would actually have to admit that Trump did something useful, and since he’s just as petty as Trump is, he wasn’t going to do that. Anybody who knows anything about nursing homes can tell you that your typical nursing home employee is doing three people’s jobs. It was always an absurd fantasy to think that a nursing home employee who is caring for Covid patients would not end up spreading the disease around to the other patients. And let’s face it, the only reason Cuomo is facing any consequences whatsoever for any of his actions is because he’s no longer of use. If Trump had won the last election, you guys would all still be saying how wonderful he is and how he bears no responsibility whatsoever for the nursing home deaths. And again I am fucking telling you they were not empty. My husband worked 12 hour shifts at the Javits center in April and then after it closed he went to another field hospital in Queens at the US open tennis center. He was gone a month. The ship did remain largely unused as they only took overflow patients from NYC hospitals. It was not set up for care for infectious diseases. It’s too small. You really don’t listen to any facts that are outside your imaginary little world. Thank you. She continues to believe what her tight little conservative world spews. The place hit hard first was always going to be a disaster because we did not know what we didn’t know. The nyc hospitals were overwhelmed before habits was up and running. Hospitals c rated beds out of nowhere, and still couldn’t keep up. Where were they supposed to put people? And trump was useless. Cuomo could have done better, and he should have been honest about the numbers. But trump and kushner didn’t care about it because this was happening in ny and bout affecting their supporters. If she wants to be honest, Florida changed how they are reporting deaths so it doesn’t look so bad. But it was the Miami herald and not the official website that reported that. Think something funny is going on?

we could have gotten on top of this. but that would have required federal leadership.
