Don’t expect the ships, painted white and marked with red crosses, to appear offshore and start taking on Covid-19 cases. For one thing, both are currently undergoing scheduled maintenance that the Navy is now expediting. The Navy didn’t provide timing for the Mercy, but a spokesperson said the Comfort should be ready to go the first week of April. For another, the Navy doesn’t intend to bring aboard anyone infected with coronavirus. The ships will instead be used to treat non-Covid patients, a Navy public affairs officer says. They’ll take on the folks who’ve suffered heart attacks, strokes, and broken legs so land-based hospitals can focus on the pandemic.
