It looks like Cuomo did ask for and get the ship to receive COVID patients. So apparently the ship could take COVID patients.
But a few points to make : He did have the presence of mind to use the ship for Covid patients.
But he didn’t isolate them adequately enough from the nursing homes, as is true with the other Governors. It was also early in the Pandemic and mistakes were made by everyone due to the unknown.
DeSantis however had the wherewithal EARLY ON to protect healthy seniors from the COVID patients in the nursing homes.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked President Donald Trump to allow coronavirus patients on the Navy ship Comfort to relieve strain on New York City hospitals dealing with COVID-19 cases.
