Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he pressed President Trump on testing during a “productive” Oval Office meeting on Tuesday afternoon, just days after they had an enormous row on Twitter and national television.Cuomo also told the president during the White House visit that New York no longer needed the USNS Comfort to treat COVID-19 infected patients, offering to deploy it to another hard-hit state.Trump confirmed later Tuesday that the ship would be headed back to its base in Virginia in preparation to be sent to another state — just weeks after it arrived in New York.

Well, it looked cool deploying to the harbor anyway. Hope none of military suffered for lack of a Comfort rack.
Even I'm astounded at the way the hype took root.

NYC never needed the USNS Comfort or all those ventilators. The number of cases and deaths were over blown. Cuomo wanted the media to describe him as a true leader during a crisis so that the DNC would make him Biden's VP.

Lets see if I have this right. NY is directing paramedics to abandon patients without attempts to reestablish a pulse because there aren't enough ICU beds available because of all of the corona virus critical cases and yet they no longer need the USNS Comfort not the Samaritan's Purse field hospital that was set up in Central Park. Is there anyone in the city or state that is sane?

Most of what has happen during the Chinese virus panic was unneeded. Shouldn't have had the shutdown and should now open businesses and churches back up.

Would this be some kind of tipping point - the image of the USNS Comfort sailing out of the harbor in New York?

Seems to me he ought to keep one of those hospitals that Trump built for him to house nursing home patients with the virus instead of sending them back to nursing homes to kill their friends there. Just reading a story in the post about just this problem. Set up a separate facility, you dimwits. How stupid can you be? This is why bureaucrats should never be in charge of anything.

What a massive fraud. This whole thing is The Boy Who Cried Covid, but its the biggest over reaction in all of history. This is greater than the sum of all over reactions combined. Will Cuomo be held accountable? Of course not. Trump will be blamed for not providing enough.

It's been pointed out before, but this NY sham really highlights what just happened...NOT pandemic, but DEM panic. They screamed that Trump had blood on his hands so they could get lots of play money on their hands.
Think that money will actually get spent on what it's intended for? Fuggedaboudit.

It's a good thing Cuomo did not attempt to suggest the next destination for the ship. It might have been Kansas or Nebraska.

Quid Pro Joe spotted it sailing into NYNY and thought Switzerland had declared war on the US.

This entire Wuhan Virus is a joke. Yes, I realize there is a virus going around but it is not the Black Death. How many decades have we faced some strain of the flu, etc and never once we're we told to "social distance," etc? We are being played and manipulated by the Dem Party/The Left and Dem governors.
I'll vote for Trump in November because no way I would vote for any Dem but my vote will be without any enthusiasm or confidence in light of his performance in this "crisis."

Rephrase that to, "Never needed the USNS Comfort."

Why don’t we hear anything about the USNS Mercy? Is it being used in LA or just sitting there?

Trump got sucked into this hype. They played him. Still a supporter but really hope he learned his lesson.

I hope this ends soon with Rubber Face Cuomo declaring this hoax is over. Let's hope this is the final bank busting chapter and get on with our lives. I'm sitting here in Podunk USA with my favorite restaurants closed, some may never open again, because Washington State, New York, New Orleans and California had a pandemic and I'm still being punished. We have a liberal Pelosi puppet governess who is enjoying this too much.

Did the Comfort or the Mercy ever have 100 patients combined treated?
I'm waiting for the accounting of all of the testing facilities that were set up, where they were set up, how many patients they each tested (ever notice it's not a regular news highlight?).
And, how many ventilators were used, compared to how many were demanded(much less ordered).

Trump, make Cuomo pay for it. Cuomo asked for it, now the bill is due.

The whole New York City covid-19 narrative was carefully woven propaganda, served up by the presstitutes desperate to damage PDJT. They bluffed to begin with; he called their bluff and sent the ship, and after waiting a couple of weeks to let it disappear from the headlines, they showed their hand. While the media hype had given us the impression that they held a Full House, it turns out all they had was a lousy Six High.
