Mount Sinai execs are safely tucked away in their FLORIDA vacation homes as medical staff don garbage bags to protect themselves from the coronavirus, which has already killed a nurse at the New York hospital

03:21 EDT, 29 March 2020

Top officials of a New York hospital where staff wore garbage bags as protective gear and where one medical personnel has died from COVID-19 are safely cooped up in their Florida vacation homes.

While doctors and nurses at Mount Sinai West hospital in Manhattan have been on the frontlines of New York City's war against the coronavirus, top leaders Dr Kenneth Davis and Dr Arthur Klein are away in gated communities in the Sunshine state.

Dr Davis, the 72-year-old CEO of the Mount Sinai Health System, has been staying at his six-bedroom mansion near Palm Beach for weeks. Davis made a staggering $6million in 2018, the New York Post reports.

Klein, also 72-years-old and president of the Mount Sinai Health Network, has been lodging at his condo in Palm Beach since earlier in the month as well.

1. How Does a Top Hospital CEO Justify Being Paid $6M A Year? We've Not Heard the Last of This.

3. He makes less than the average salary for an NBA player.

7. I think the point of the article was

That while these CEO's are off hiding away from this virus in their cushy vacation homes, the staff at their hospitals are using garbage bags as PPE's.

It's disgusting.

[lapucelle]

8. Is there evidence that he is "off hiding away from the virus in a cushy vacation home"? N/T

[OhioChick]

9. Call the hospital where people are dying, staff is wearing garbage bags and ask to speak with him

Then you'll have your answer.

[lapucelle]

11. In other words, there is no evidence for the claim.N/T

[OhioChick]

12. "The head of the New York State Nurses Association blasted the ghost leaders."

“How can you inspire confidence in your employees who are in the front lines of the epicenter that you have their best interests at heart when you are 1,000 miles away? Even more important, what are you doing to procure the PPE that is proven to save lives of caregivers and, ultimately, the patients we care for? We are not protected. And every day it is getting worse,” said Judy Sheridan-Gonzalez, the union president."

Google is your friend, go do your own research.

13. The New York Post is a Ruport Murdoch right wing rag and Trump's favorite NY newspaper.

And I don't need google to tell me that.

Apparently, I'm speaking to either Dr Kenneth Davis or Dr Arthur Klein!

See Ya!

[lapucelle]

25. First of all, you're typing, not speaking.

Sorry, but the person to whom you're typing responses doesn't blindly accept skewed narratives pushed by the right wing New York Post in the service of a divisive political agenda.

It is both negligent and irresponsible for a nurse to complain that any 72 year old is either working from home as advised (even if that home is a second home in another state) or reluctant to break shelter in place recommendations so that he can travel to the national epicenter of a pandemic to work from home in that city instead.

Divisive grandstanding is the last thing we need here in NYC.

[Duppers]

20. From the article...

"...top leaders Dr Kenneth Davis and Dr Arthur Klein are away in gated communities in the Sunshine state."

It's not difficult to get the point. Why are you defending them when everyone here seems to understand? Doctors and nurses do not have the equipment they need and these CEO need to help them. You think they making phone calls from their vacation homes?

[OhioChick]

27. Exactly!

"...top leaders Dr Kenneth Davis and Dr Arthur Klein are away in gated communities in the Sunshine state."


Meanwhile....

"Kious Kelly, 48, died at Mount Sinai West hospital in Manhattan on Tuesday night, a week after he was admitted upon testing positive for coronavirus.

Kelly was an assistant nursing manager at Mount Sinai West, which has been hit by an urgent shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as masks and isolation gowns.

A shocking photo posted to Facebook shows three nurses at Mount Sinai West wearing black garbage bags as makeshift protective gowns. "

The comment section from the article seems to fully agree with you.

[sigpooie]

28. Yes, but

He doent help sell 5 billion dollars worth of apperal, beer and trips to buffalo wild wings, does he.

4. The Mount Sinai system is made up of eight hospitals and a medical school.

It is not simply one single hospital.

5. Interesting that the best health care institution in the world didn't make the list.

15. Somewhat off topic ... but this one pushed my buttons

As coronavirus ravages his native New York, media mogul David Geffen observes a sunset from his $400 million superyacht: ‘I’m hoping everybody is staying safe’

If ever there were doubts about how the superaffluent are faring amid a pandemic for the ages, media mogul David Geffen wants to make it abundantly clear that, for his part, he’s doing just fine — and he wishes us all the best.

Geffen, whose net worth is estimated at $7.5 billion, according to Forbes, tweeted a number of images of his resplendent $400 million superyacht, Rising Sun, apparently adrift off the coast of the Grenadines, a chain of small Caribbean islands in the lesser Antilles, about 2,085 miles south of New York, which has emerged as the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak.

[OhioChick]

16. I saw that yesterday....

It was shocking, although nothing should shock me anymore.

Every site I read had some nasty comments about him.

[MineralMan]

19. The poorly-paid crew on that yacht might just pass

the coronavirus on to him. That would be a terrible thing.

[crickets]

23. I had the exact same thought.

Honestly, what is wrong with people? He could have made the tweet without bragging about where he is and posting a 'look at me, I am so rich haha bitches!' photo of his yacht. That tweet was not about his thoughts for the welfare of others. Not at all. That said, I hope the crew is safe and doing well.

[exboyfil]

26. And giving more than pocket lint to help out

I wish every story which has a large contribution would add in parenthesis ($10M or 0.13% of his net wealth - that is equivalent to $133 for median net wealth in this country).

[Takket]

17. where should they be?

At the hospital getting sick and taking up another bed?

They are working from home and staying the hell out of the way, like they should be.

[Duppers]

18. How about doing all they can to secure equipment

For hard-working and endangered healthcare workers - doctors and nurses who put their lives on the front line and shouldn't have to be wearing garbage bags.

Do you think that's what they are doing on their yachts?

[Takket]

21. yes, that is exactly what they are doing. why wouldn't they be?

[Duppers]

22. Just like tRump works hard at Mar-A-Lago?

Either you're a joker or

[Takket]

24. Here's some info on Klien and Davis

Here's the bio on Davis........

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_L._Davis#Biography

valedictorian on Mt. Sinai school of medicine in 1969, conducted extensive research in Alzheimer's and schizophrenia... a 50 year career in medicine in which he EARNED his way through achievement to the position he has been put in. nothing like drumpf who was handed millions from birth and cheated and sued his way through life.

And here is the bio on the other "yachting" scumbag, Klien.......

https://operationrespect.org/profile/arthur-klein-md/

Looks like he has a long career in pediatric medicine. I'm sure he spent all those years on a yacht forging his resume though and never met a kid he gave a shit about.


Because you know.... these guys make a lot of money so clearly don't care about anyone but themselves. i'm sure they aren't answering their cell phones right now and are enjoying their yachts and a cigar and not giving a flying fuck what's going on at the hospitals. Cause hey, the hard hitting dailymail article has all the answers.

This article is sensationalist nonsense.

Hey just FYI I live in Michigan.......... this is the mansion where Gretchen Whitmer is "holed up" right now. I supposed that means she isn't doing anything either........ LOOK! IT'S GATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
