“It’s true that hospitals were overwhelmed in the beginning”
Your making up your own facts, all hospitals, not just those in NYC were full beyond capacity, converting other units into covid units and other staff into Covid ICU staff.
Your also admitting that this is not just a flu, but your using the ship to further justify that it was not that bad. Im not really sure how that makes sense, if its just the flu, then why would the ship be needed?
Im not sure about the specifics as to why the ship wasnt used. However, the ship was only to be used for non covid patients, relieving the hospitals from the regulat burden so they can cope with the covid patients. It so turned out that most patients were covid patients.
With regards to some treatments that are not being used. Keep in mind, medicine is not something in which one decides on a treatment and all just follow. It needs to be tested and trialed. Well, what if the treatment is bogus? Should we still push for it become some decided on their own that it’s effective?
The rate of development for treatment and management for Covid pts has been done on a scale never seen before, unfortunately there is a lot of available data of treatments that work and those that do not, and in what phases of the disease process they are effective and when not.
So pushing a treatment that by some theory and some hypothetical would be effective but was not been able to be proven to be effective, is not doing anyone any good.
