The USNS Comfort floating hospital arrived at Pier 90 in New York City today to provide relief for the city's already overwhelmed hospitals. The Comfort will be treating patients who do NOT have COVID-19.
The occasion drew pretty big crowds to Pier 90, and the pictures show that New Yorkers are still doing exactly what New Yorkers should not be doing: standing close to one another.

De Blasio said this morning he’d start fining people up to $500 for not social distancing yet there’s this crowd outside Pier 90 where the US Naval Hospital Ship Comfort and none of the several cops on site are doing anything to disperse them

I can’t describe the feeling of seeing this massive ship yet again docked in this great city. No one ever imagined it’s image would ever dominate the west side of Manhattan again. I hope it brings the relief our doctors, nurses, and all medical staff so desperately need.
