On Thursday, Carnival announced its offer to turn its vessels into floating hospitals with as many as 1,000 rooms, capable of treating non-Covid-19 illnesses (freeing hospitals up to treat Covid-19 patients). The company said it would charge only enough to cover its essential costs for providing the ships.
President Donald Trump said he may yet take Carnival Corp. up on its offer to use its cruise ships as hospitals to relieve coronavirus-related strain on the health-care system. But he said they werent needed now.
If we need it, well let you know, Trump said at a Friday media briefing.
