Former son in law was a Navy nurse on the Mercy docked in NYC, and he said they were never busy, at most ~100 patients, and most not with covid. Meanwhile, crew was billeted in NYC hotels when not on duty, and not even allowed to leave their rooms.

Just more oddness and weirdness.

We should be able to find a ton of anecdotal reports on EMT's first responders, doctors, and nurses, all harried and over-worked due to COVID in NYC.

There are some stories to this effect. but most of what I remember early on the nurse in NYC who struggled with the protocols employed during Covid, not the disease itself. A lot of times, intubation was attractive because the workers felt afraid they would catch Covid.
