Funny thing is that there are plenty of O6s out there who, when told "you can have a major command at sea but it's on plague ship" they would jump on it for ~their career~

Haha at least every service is loving it's own. A friend in the Army reserves says they're calling people up for 1 day short of providing title 32 benefits like HAB, Tricare, etc.

That skipper was hosed no matter what he did. He would have been fired as soon as his sailors started to die not matter what he did.

I am reaching peak what the gently caress limit The 1,000-Bed Comfort Was Supposed to Aid New York. It Has 3 Patients. quote:“It’s a joke,” said a top hospital executive, whose facilities are packed with coronavirus patients. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/nyregion/ny-coronavirus-usns-comfort.html This is the exact same thing as France keeping their anti tank guns in warehouses in 1940 because they are too new and shiny to get dirty in the field.

What if Trump sent it solely for optics with no concern for people being helped and as such bureaucrats are doing what they do best now? Hmmmm

They probably need to strip the thing to gear up covid wards that don't include open berthing and common ventilation on an ancient San Clemente

Didnt we already go over this? Those ships arent prime COVID platforms and are better off taking any other major cases to make it easier on the hospitals.

Ngl, I am hoping that one lesson learned from this global clusterfuck is that maybe just maybe we (the collective national/global we) might realize that we should actually empower and listen to subject matter experts. Instead of thinking dumbfuck #315-4a is more qualified than dumbfuck #417-3b for magical rose-tinted reasons due to their lack of competent leadership, maybe just maybe we can start valuing the folks that ACTUALLY know poo poo. I know, I know, it’s probably too optimistic. But hey wishful thinking...

The article points out that they were supposed to take patients that aren't exhibiting corona signs to free up hospital beds, and they have three patients.

I have no idea what the need or extent is over there. My girlfriends hospital shut down anything that wasnt extremely necessary 2 weeks ago and is operating at a skeleton crew to spread out exposure. She said it was spooky quiet before she went to WFH the last two weeks. Hoping NY is the same way. It's better to be sick at home now than to go to a hospital.

I'd also imagine there's some idiotic provincialism, ambulances default to the closest hospital in emergencies in NYC, and who knows how easy/difficult it is to load a potential triage case onto the boat from dockside?

Which of course people would probably at least accept if those were the words coming from leadership, and not some form of: “Your safety and the safety of your loved ones is our first priority...”
