Clinics that are overwhelmed with patients and staff say they don't even know how to begin sending cases to the ship. Doctors say there's a rumor that patients have to be admitted to a central hospital before they can be transferred to the Comfort. Only 33 of the 250 beds on the Comfort -- 13% -- are being used, nearly two weeks after the ship arrived.
"I know that we have capacity. I know that we have the capability to help. What the situation on the ground is ... that's not in my lane to make a decision," he said. "Every time that we've been tasked by (Puerto Rico's) medical operation center to respond or bring a patient on, we have responded."
Didn't Hillary tweet out to send Comfort to PR?
and wasn't it mentioned in past posts that the Comfort could /might have dealings with organ harvesting?
will try to look for posts
WTH is going on?

It was in the emails that Diane Reynolds talked about being on the Comfort while in Haiti (that would be Chelsea, of course)

Thanks, my connection to Voat getting hit hard, but will look
I can't believe help right there and only small amount of people there
Did see an article that a baby was born there, Ship's Master of Comfort named one of the two small boat tenders after the little girl

So Comfort has a helicopter and 2 boats, and they can't get people to the ship?

“We wanted to do something special, the crew has taken to the baby as one of our own,” said Gwinn. “As she goes forward in life, we hope she carries Comfort with her.” THINK carefully. "has taken to the baby as one of our own" Very strange words.

Thanks, missed that thinking of the boats, If I was Trump heads would be rolling.
What, Is the Comfort gonna sit there and say, yes we were there, we helped people?
worthless just sitting there, damn expsensive too,
What red tape is holding these people. Doesnt Governor have the weight to bench that mayor for reasons of sanity?

Also, the explanation I heard on the news is that even if one of our states was to offer the help of their National Guard or to send 100 men and women, Puerto Rico would have to request the help first, only then could we send them. They must be requested first.

Wonder who was picked to come aboard, maybe those Docs need to go to the people,I would, grab some of those guys down there and say lets go.
If they are doing this to spite Trump, Intro for PR mayor to demon worship, make booku money, kill off population, well then they can't go to hell fast enough for me
