Navy hospital ship patients infected with COVID-19. What went wrong?

[DC23]

The Navy operates a hospital ship called Comfort which was supposed to be treating only patients without COVID-19 in NYC so that doctors in the NYC hospital could focus on the patients who have the virus.

An initial screening was supposed to prevent COVID-19 positive patients from boarding, but only consisted of taking each patient’s temperature and asking a few questions. Perhaps not surprisingly, “less than five” patients onboard have now tested positive.

Who do you think was responsible for this failure, and how can it be prevented in the future?

The "less than five" you cited were those transferred from Javits who got a full test after boarding and were isolated until and after the test results came back. It won't be the last time someone with COVID-19 gets past the initial screening.

COVID-19 is gonna hit as much of a percent of the global population as the mid-1300s black plague but only kill 2-3% instead of 50%, so that's good I guess

terrible idea to have a ship accepting patients

most likely about 5% of those patients will bring the virus

now you have a petri dish of sick ppl

what a fucked idea

a 5% death rate is pretty fucked even for only reported cases

What happened is this virus is highly contagious, and somebody didn't quite follow protocol. It's disheartening, but not unexpected.

[Xevious]

Even if everyone had been tested, there have been concerns that some people have falsely tested negative for COVID. All you'd need is one of those and the virus will spread.

[ElNono]

This virus is certainly a huge bitch. I guess it's not only the Chinese tests that give false negatives...

Does that mean we should impose a long term quarantine on large swaths of the American West? (and lol at the random case in Chicago, must have been a traveler).

even if 2.8% is double an actual of 1.4%, still horrifying.

it was a terrible idea to even send a fucking ship to NY harbor at this time :lmao :lmao

its a fucking metal ship. coronavirus can survive on metal for weeks for christsakes :lol

and now switching immediately to treat COVID patients instead on NON COVID is an even worse idea :lmao

its just a face saving move that will backfire again. they touted this ship like it was coming to save NYC and now NYC hospitals are probably gonna have to treat sailors as well
