The ‘main stream’ U.S. news media is doing a piss-poor job of showing what the U.S. Navy is doing during this Corona-Virus Disease 2019 pandemic.  It’s as if they’re deliberately trying to make it look like there’s no government response.

Somewhere at sea, a Hospital Corpsman with the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet tests for diseases using a BioFire Film Array.  The hi-tech machine can test for just short of 30 diseases at the same time. The pic was taken aboard the USS Blue Ridge (LCC 19), 14MAR2020.

Medical supplies being loaded onto USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) in San Diego, California, 20MAR2020.

Infected people could be delivered to USNS Mercy via MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopters.

Mercy is one of two hospital ships owned and operated by Military Sealift Command, and operates in the Pacific Ocean.

Apparently they’re expecting to drink a lot of Red Bull?

The other hospital ship is the USNS Comfort (T-AH 20), which normally operates along the Atlantic coast, including providing taxpayer funded medical services to people in Central & South America, and the Caribbean.

A Ejército Mexicano medic, assigned to the USNS Comfort, helps a boy with a severely swollen head in Haiti, November 2019.

Throngs of Haitians line-up for help from the USNS Comfort, November 2019.  Will the same thing happen at U.S. ports?

Coming for you?  A view from inside a MH-60S Sea Hawk assigned to USNS Comfort.
