President Trump expressed his gratitude to “the dedicated service members who will soon be on the front lines of this fight” before the USNS Comfort heads to New York.⁣ ⁣ The US Navy ship left Norfolk, Virginia, on Saturday. It will help New York City hospitals care for patients with urgent needs, not those who have the coronavirus, in a move meant to free up much-needed space in the city's medical centers for those infected with the virus. ⁣ ⁣ “It is fully loaded with 12 operating rooms and they are fully equipped. 1,000 hospital beds, a medical laboratory, a pharmacy, an optometry lab, digital radiology, a cat scan, two oxygen producing plants, and a helicopter deck which will be used very actively,” Trump said. 📸: Patrick Semansky/AP #DonaldTrump #USNSComfort
