Without looking at it from a personal political view, the difference was that they were class. Trump is arse.

1468097 2020-04-30 21:33:00 Not Trumps fault specifically but this is why the US had a mess in new York.

The inequities of New York City's health care system are clear at a public hospital in a section of Brooklyn hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.

University Hospital of Brooklyn, in the heart of New York, the city hit hardest by a world-altering pandemic, can seem like it is falling apart. The roof leaks. The corroded pipes burst with alarming frequency. On one of the intensive care units, plastic tarps and duct tape serve as flimsy barriers separating patients. Nurses record vital signs with pen and paper rather than computer systems.

The virus is killing black and Latino New Yorkers at about twice the rate of white residents, and hospitals serving the sickest patients often work with the fewest resources.

Wealthy private hospitals, primarily in Manhattan, have been able to marshal reserves of cash and political clout to increase patient capacity quickly, and acquire protective gear. At the height of the surge, the Mount Sinai health system was able to enlist private planes from Warren Buffett's company to fly in coveted N95 masks from China.

University Hospital, which is publicly funded and part of SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University, has tried to raise money for protective gear through a GoFundMe page started by a resident physician.

Dr. Robert Foronjy, the hospital's chief of pulmonary and critical care medicine, oversees the unit with the plastic tarps and duct tape. But the "aged and crumbling" facilities, he said, had made the job of caring for such patients much harder.

Instead of a modern call button or intercom system, all he had was a silver bell, the kind used in hotels decades ago to summon the concierge.

Signs inside the hospital are written in English, Spanish and Creole, a reflection of the large number of immigrants in the area, particularly from the West Indies.

Many of the patients work but are poor or receive government assistance. Many are uninsured and use the hospital for emergencies and primary care.

The hospital has been in financial disarray for years. A 2013 audit by the state comptroller's office found that it was on a path toward insolvency. It was bleeding millions of dollars every week, the audit found, and only infusions of state money were keeping it afloat.
Within days, the cramped emergency room, was inundated. At times, more than 100 coughing, feverish patients were packed into hallways and side rooms or clustered around the nursing station.

"It was just endless," she said. "Code 99s would come in three, four different rooms, all within a few minutes of each other, all day long."

Medical workers began to get sick, and several nurses ended up intubated in the hospital's ICU.
"We were stewing in it," an emergency room doctor, Lorenzo Paladino, said.

Doctors and nurses complained that the conditions put them at greater risk than colleagues at other hospitals.
