Hospitalsskib sejler hjem igen

Den amerikanske flådes hosptialsskib USNS Comfort vil forlade New York efter mindre end en måned i byen. Den skulle aflaste det hårdt ramte hospitalsvæsen i byen, da coronakrisen peakede, men nu er behovet der ikke længere, har guvernør Cuomo fortalt præsidenten.

Hospitalsskibet skulle efter planen kun behandle patienter, der ikke var indlagt med coronavirus, men på opfordring fra New Yorks guvernør Andrew Cuomo blev skibet konverteret til at kunne behandle corona-patienter.

Men det blev aldrig den store succes og skibet nåede blot at behandle 178 patienter. Der var ellers plads til 500, men angiveligt kneb det med at udnytte pladserne bl.a. på grund af mangelfuld kommunikation med byens hospitaler.

Hvornår skibet igen forlader New York for at sejle til basen i Virginia er endnu ikke oplyst. Søsterskibet, USNS Mercy ligger fortsat i Los Angeles, hvor det hjælper med at behandle patienter med andre sygdomme end Covid-19 virus.
