Roumor:

In response to Trump sending a hospital ship to Greenland, Denmark is now sending a psychiatric hospital ship to Washington D.C.

@randahl Really need a floating memory care facility prepared to treat a dementia patient. Bet EU member states would be willing to help Denmark provide that.

Trump is the same asshat who failed to deploy the naval hospital ship on a timely basis to Puerto Rico to help Hurricane Maria victims - US citizens.

~2975 residents died in the wake of the storm; only 290 were treated after USNS Comfort's late arrival.

Screenshot, excerpt from essay at https://globalamericans.org/neglect-puerto-rico-never-benign/

Essay title: The U.S.’s neglect of Puerto Rico has never been benign
Author: Edwin Melendez
Published: October 2, 2017

Text: "On Wednesday, September 20, Hurricane Maria, a Category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of 155 mph, made a landfall in Puerto Rico. All reports indicated that this was a potentially catastrophic storm. FEMA and local authorities were unprepared for the scale of destruction.

The electrical and telecommunications grids went down, and the island’s airports and ports were left inoperable. More than half of the island’s households lacked running, potable water, thousands of homes were destroyed, and over ten thousand people were living in shelters. Most hospitals were inoperable. Flooding and the ensuing contamination will endanger the lives of tens of thousands in the weeks and months to come.

The magnitude of this catastrophe was predictable days prior to the storm and evident shortly after. The USNS Comfort hospital ship was sent to aid relief efforts for Hurricanes Katrina and Rita immediately after the storms. But it took the U.S. military six days to order the deployment the Comfort to assist Puerto Rico. Ten days after the storm the Comfort was still in Hampton, Virginia, and expected to arrive in Puerto Rico thirteen days after the storm’s landfall on the island."

The two US hospital ships are in the shipyard and neither is on its way anywhere.

I don't think there's anything more to say about that.

Except maybe that D.T. is an idiot, but we all know that.

@Gehtso @randahl Note the article also states that one of the hospital ships is still available at six days' notice.

Moving medical facilities was regarded as an indicator prior to Russian invasion of Ukraine.

@randahl They can't even take care of their own submariners stationed off Greenland. They need the Danish military to evacuate them for medical care.

If they had sent a proper medical ship to the US, it would be remarkably popular. Europe should do that in general just to make a point.
