$21 Million Brooklyn Field Hospital Closes After Treating Zero Patients
PJMedia ^ | MAY 23, 2020 | RICK MORAN

Posted on 05/23/2020 1:36:04 PM PDT by Baladas

A field hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y., built to deal with the coronavirus has been closed without treating a single patient. The $21 million facility was part of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s response to the growing number of coronavirus patients at New York City hospitals. That response included smaller facilities at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center and Stony Point (Long Island), and a huge, 1,100-bed medical center at the Javits Center.

All told, the state spent upwards of $350 million on facilities that were built but never used.

[Cuomo is still governor? He belongs behind bars.]


I’d say he belongs in the private sector where there’s at least a pretty stringent standard to which employees are held. Unfortunately, I see this man making a bid for the White House in the near future, and maybe succeeding where his father never even tried, despite doing the whole Hamlet routine.

“Trump Ignores Science”, or equivalent hogwash...does it matter? You already know the truth.

The medical ship Comfort was unused also. Cuomo should write a thank you note to President Trump. Doubt it.

Easy decision when you use other people's money.

“What is the story, here?”

The story is, this is part of the biggest fraud perpetrated in the history of the world, and that the people who planned and carried it out should be brought to justice.

Some people here fell for it as well.

Let’s see Andy Pandy try to tap dance his way through that, while trying to blame President Trump.

Cuomo is a murderer because of his policies to return Wuhan Commie covid patients to nursing homes...this caused thousands of deaths. These worthless criminals in government spent $350,000,000.00 and didn’t bother to use those facilities. Cuomo should be arrested. Have you seen any interviews of the effected families of those murdered? No. The media is complicit. I read where “Mr Sensitive and Caring” said: they were going to die anyway.

Correction:

All told, the state spent wasted upwards of $350 million of taxpayer dollars on facilities that were built but never used.

Dear Gov. Cuomo, why provide hospitals when you’re gonna just kill people in the nursing homes anyway?

They were needed.

Cuomo and DeBlasio just wanted to kill more old people...freeing up more money to line their own pockets.

Probably about 10,000 deaths because New York counts residents of nursing homes who went to the hospital with coronavirus and died there as Hospital deaths. Almost no other states did this and this is why New York’s ~ 20% deaths in nursing homes is far lower than almost any other state. Fake statistics.

The Gov. achieved his goal. None of the deceased will vote Republican, in November. They are now reliable Demonic Rat voters.

the $64,000 question is: just where will Cuomo quietly sell all that newly acquired equipment so he can claim poverty again when the second wave hits and again scream Daddy Fed owes him, and where will those proceeds get quietly funneled?

Cuomo sure seems to like his daily tv show.
