U.S. Field Hospitals Stand Down, Most Without Treating Any COVID-19 Patients

Quote

As hospitals were overrun by coronavirus patients in other parts of the world, the Army Corps of Engineers mobilized in the U.S., hiring private contractors to build emergency field hospitals around the country.

The endeavor cost more than $660 million, according to an NPR analysis of federal spending records.

But nearly four months into the pandemic, most of these facilities haven't treated a single patient.

Time for Dems and other Hate-Trumpers to denounce Trump's over-reaction!

More seriously, IMO, some governors who howled panicked hysteria have some 'splainin' to do. Not that the MSM will do any asking.

Life

Safety

Economy

Well,, they could have treated patients, but Cuomo had them put in nursing homes instead.
