77 patients

 

The USNS Mercy, a 1,000-bed hospital ship sent to Los Angeles to help take pressure off hospitals โ€” which officials predicted would be overrun by Chinese coronavirus patients โ€” is departing on Friday after treating just 77 patients.

 

The USNS Mercy has been docked at Los Angeles Harbor since March 27, arriving just as the peak of the pandemic approached. Like the USNS Comfort, the ship was originally slated to lessen the impact on hospitals by taking on non-coronavirus patients, thereby freeing up beds in nearby hospitals anticipating a surge in coronavirus cases.

 

The 1,000-bed hospital came fully prepared with 800 crew members โ€œ12 fully-equipped operating rooms, laboratories, a pharmacy, [and] radiological equipment โ€ฆ becoming the largest hospital in the city,โ€ KTLA reported.
