So this is the OFFICIAL covid-19 cruise?
I was watching Sky News a few days ago and one of the British Chief Medical Officers was talking about mechanical ventilators but I’ve never heard this mentioned on any US networks.
Thank you President Trump!
We often send the USNS Comfort to underdeveloped countries to assist in disasters. How does this make you feel? I’m not feeling proud.
They get you on the ship and take you out to sea and you never come back, cuz no country will let you back in, not even the one who put you on it! Beware of trusting this idea!!!
Yeah uhmm...realDonaldTrump announced this earlier.
I actually was on this ship before
Wall Street slumps , wiping out gains.
How many of those ships do we have?
Hospital ship headed to New York as virus count spikes.
Why not retrofit cruise ships for hospitals. That would be quick and could benefit cruise companies by leasing the ships.
Please trump let Gov. Cuomo finish the rest of your Presidency he's calming us with an understanding. Governor Andrew Cuomo sounds like a president. He doesn't sound stupid like you.
staggering the kit the US has in reserve !
USS Comfort? Sounds like a floating brothel
Florida be like hello. We won you the election and we have more sick. POTUS
What about hotels near hospitals ?That way equipment doesn’t need to be moved far and they’re empty anyway
Could we just let Gov. Cuomo run the country for a while?
🧐
Glad I live on the coast.
That seems to be a great idea!
maybe the cruise ships(who brought the virus to the US/Canada/etc) should donate ships as floating hospitals
Should be used for sick medical personal and first responders
To save the rich
I believe it when it docks in NY harbor.
President Trump is sending ships to assist to help with the CHINESE virus crisis. Don't forget to tell it like it is FakeNewsCNN
