In March of 2020 President Trump ordered the US Navy’s two hospital ships to America’s two largest cities. The USNS Comfort was sent to New York City and the USNS Mercy was sent to Los Angeles. On Friday 27 March the Mercy docked at the Cruise Terminal of Port of Los Angeles to aid in hospital relief during the COVID-19 virus worldwide pandemic by adding a highly-trained Navy medical staff, twelve operating rooms, a laboratory and pharmacy, and 1000 beds to releive area hospitals of non-COVID-19 patients while the hospitals handled mainly virus cases. After a few days area hospitals were vastly expanding their ICU capabilities and releif wasn’t critical, so some of the medical staff of USNS Mercy was deployed ashore to area skilled care retirement facilities to help fill a critical need where most of the new virus cases are being identified. A few of the Mercy’s crew have tested positive for the virus and are being quarantined.
