“Recorded inside an automobile with Mr. O’Keefe behind the wheel, the 9½-minute video chronicles him visiting a drive-thru facility in New York state where people can be tested from their cars for COVID-19, the potentially deadly respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus. “Mr. O’Keefe is seen throughout the clip goading military and medical personnel with questions about the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and how it has been covered by the media.”Bad Boy, Jimmy, for going on the hunt for the truth. (Project Veritas)
“In the now-deleted tweet from March 20, Ingraham, host of the cable network’s “The Ingraham Angle,” wrote, “Lenox Hill [Hospital] in New York among many hospitals already using Hydroxychloroquine with very promising results. “The tweet was based on Ingraham’s interview on the Fox News show with Dr. William Grace, whom Ingraham incorrectly identified as being an oncologist at New York’s Lenox Hill Hospital. A correction Fox News later appended to an article about the segment said Ingraham had wrongly described Dr. Grace as affiliated with the hospital and that “his opinions given below are his own.”Bad girl, Ingraham, for trying to get the truth out there about the hype the media spreads on the virus. Numbers about COVID-19 victims are starting to add up to suspicion.
“Such were the expectations for the Navy hospital ship U.S.N.S. Comfort that when it chugged into New York Harbor this week, throngs of people, momentarily forgetting the strictures of social distancing, crammed together along Manhattan’s west side to catch a glimpse.”U.S.N.S. Comfort didn’t “chug” into New York Harbor, it sailed in with grace and majesty as do all U.S. vessels bearing the American flag.
“On Thursday, though, the huge white vessel, which officials had promised would bring succor to a city on the brink, sat mostly empty, infuriating executives at local hospitals. The ship’s 1,000 beds are largely unused, its 1,200-member crew mostly idle.”But the The Comfort was sent to New York to relieve pressure on city hospitals by treating people with ailments other than COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus.
“Mr. Dowling said he has had to tear his hospitals apart, retrofitting any unused space, including lobbies and conference rooms, into hospital wards. His facilities now house 2,800 so-called Covid patients, up from 100 on March 20, he said. About 25 percent of those are in serious conditions in intensive care units. “At the same time, there is not a high volume of noncoronavirus patients. “Because most New Yorkers have isolated themselves in their homes, there are fewer injuries from car accidents, gun shots and construction accidents that would require an emergency room visit. “Ultimately, Mr. Dowling and others said, if the Comfort refuses to take Covid patients, there are few patients to send.What about the multiple thousands of Influenza victims?
“Late Thursday, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo of New York reached an agreement with Mr. Trump to bring Covid patients to the Javits Convention Center in Manhattan, another alternative site operated by the military, with 2,500 hospital beds.
“I asked President Trump this morning to consider the request and the urgency of the matter, and the President has just informed me that he granted New York’s request,” Mr. Cuomo said in a statement. “There was no word about doing the same with the U.S.N.S. Comfort. “Capt. Patrick Amersbach, the commanding officer of the medical personnel aboard the Comfort, said at a news conference that, for now, his orders were to accept only patients who had tested negative for the virus. If ordered to accept coronavirus patients, he said, the ship could be reconfigured to make that happen. “If our mission shifts, we do what we can to meet that mission,” he said.Meanwhile, the only visible sign showing NYC coronavirus stress is the red ‘siren’ its governor placed on top of the Empire State Building. Too many do not take at face value the chipped tooth his brother Chris over at CNN supposedly got from shivering, having come down with the virus one day after the debut of the red ‘siren’. Meanwhile, the ever elusive truth is out there somewhere, but don’t look for it in the mainstream or social media.
