Erecting field hospitals makes a hell of a lot more sense than a ship.

“Erecting field hospitals makes a hell of a lot more sense than a ship.”

Depends on the locality and the infrastructure to handle a ship New York City was perfect for a ship, plus they had inflatable hospitals. Mass casualties or the threat of mass casualties requires an extraordinary amount of equipment.

BS...The ship was meant for people that did NOT have Covid and did not have facilities for Covid patients. The ship became contaminated and was useless.

I seem to recall that the one they opened in New York City in early 2020 did not last long — it was lightly used and unappreciated by the leftist establishment. Kinda like the inactive auto plants that Trump pressured into making breathing tubes.
