picture. Curious that Trump only mentions the exterior view, as if he only looked at a briefing photo of the ships and didn't bother to read any of the accompanying text that defined the bed capacity, operating rooms, ICU facilities or medical staff.

couldn't think of the word "dryer", all I could say was "the big white thing in the garage you put clothes in to dry"
That's why I'm not president.

It was terrifying. But you'd make a better president than the one we've got.

However, neither of the 1,000-patient ships are ready to go anywhere. Both are currently in-port undergoing maintenance work and lack medical crews. It will likely take weeks, before both ships set off to their destinations. And even when the floating hospitals do arrive at their berths, they will not be taking on COVID-19 patients.
....
The USNS Comfort, which is being worked on in Norfolk, Va., is not expected to arrive in New York Harbor until sometime next month. The USNS Mercy, which is in San Diego, Calif., can be prepared sooner but it takes several days to bring aboard staff and medical equipment and its final destination has yet to be identified.
