Yesterday, we documented how the Javits Center and the USNS Comfort were mostly empty and had few patients. Yet despite that, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is bragging about how they added an additional 3,000 beds to these facilities claiming that they are “much-needed.”
For our hospitals to function they need three things: Beds, Staff, Equipment.
Every day we are balancing the needs of each hospital in each category.
The USNS Comfort and the Javits Center are adding 3,000 much-needed beds.

Really? There’s virtually no patients in either the Javits Center or the USNS Comfort.
Even the doomsday-promoters in the media have been forced to report this.
More than 14,000 people have now been hospitalized in New York City for COVID-19.
But the USNS Comfort ship and an emergency hospital at the Javits Center — meant to be relief valves for local hospitals — have both been operating far below their capacity.https://t.co/KIdz3YWN18

A US Navy hospital ship currently docked in New York City harbor is treating only 20 patients, despite having a 1,000 bed capacity to treat non-coronavirus patients, according to a Navy spokesperson. https://t.co/k6NiQQGD7l

Ann Coulter at least made a good point about the situation.
In NYC, the USNS Comfort hospital ship and Javits Center emergency hospital are still largely empty.
Maybe we can convert them into unemployment offices.

So just WTF are the beds for? Why would he be demanding beds that are not needed? The only explanation is that he’s doing this intentionally to scare people.
It is obvious that Cuomo is continuing to do everything in his power to spread maximum doom and fear. Today at his press conference he highlighted how 731 people in New York had allegedly died of the coronavirus.
BREAKING: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says death toll jumped by 731 to 5,489, the "largest single day increase."
"Behind everyone of those numbers is an individual, is a family…a lot of pain again today for many New Yorkers." https://t.co/QOyKOdgKLJ pic.twitter.com/WlRdkEai7v

He was at least forced to admit that the number of deaths were flattening out and that hospitalizations were down. But he certainly didn’t highlight these facts.
Great new NY state data: (hospitalizations tend to rise some on Mondays, but the trend is still clear). Net intubations rose by less than 100, down 80% since Friday! A fantastic day for reality, a terrible day for Team Apocalypse. pic.twitter.com/wiWhdS7iFJ

Basically what we have here is this moronic asshole claiming that he was justified in destroying the state’s economy and ruining people’s lives over something that was no worse than your average flu season.
All New Yorkers who have had their lives destroyed over this situation should be extremely angry at this fool and the mass hysteria he has personally helped spread.
