Gov. Cuomo Says the President Sent Up a Navy Ship the ‘Comfort’ ... It Did Give Us Comfort, But We Don’t Need It Anymore

CUOMO: “We talked about what the federal government did do during phase one when we were ramping up to try to develop hospital capacity. We took our state convention center, the so-called Javits Center, and the Army Corps of Engineers did a fantastic job putting in 2,500 beds. The President sent up a Navy ship, the Comfort, which is a hospital ship, which by the way was very good to have in case we had overflow. But I said we don’t really need the Comfort anymore. It did give us comfort, but we don’t need it anymore. So if they need to deploy it somewhere else, they should take it.”
