According to a report released Tuesday by the New York Times, a transient box hospital was installed through New York City officials who cost no less than $52 million and treated fewer than a hundred patients overall and remained unused even when hospitals near hospitals were hit with coronavirus patients.
The temporary hospital set up at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center treated just 79 patients in the month it was in operation, while staff reported being paid to do nothing all day amid the height of the city’s coronavirus outbreak.
“Basically, my best friend, I was paid $2,000 at noon on my phone and I look at Facebook,” Katie Capano, a Nurse Practitioner from Baltimore who worked downtown, told The Times Katie Capano. “We all feel guilty. I felt a little more embarrassed by my best friend, to be honest.”
The bureaucracy and lack of communication between the municipal, state and federal government led to the cash hospital and the Navy’s hospital ship, Comfort, which was empty on a giant component, while public hospitals in the city reported overcrowded conditions and overcrowded personnel. Billie Jean King’s workers, who spoke to The Times, proved they spend a lot of time on repetitive administrative tasks.
“The conditions in the emergency room of this crisis were incompatible and dangerous,” Dr. Timothy Tan, director of clinical operations at the emergency department at Queens Hospital Center, told the Times. “Knowing what our patients have had to overcome in an overcrowded emergency department, it’s a surprise that few patients have been treated in services like Billie Jean King.”
According to reports, the city’s fitness officials refused to allow 911 calls to refer patients to Billie Jean King Hospital, out of dissatisfaction with the facility’s willingness to care for patients in critical conditions. As a result, the center only accepted patients transferred from other hospitals in the city. To further complicate the problem, doctors at the hospitals themselves told The Times that they felt the facility only accepts patients from public hospitals, while a stock of no less than five symptoms can also prevent a patient from being eligible to move from a public hospital to Billie Jean King. As a result, few hospitals have moved patients.
Meanwhile, site staff would have been paid much more according to the rates than doctors and nurses in the city hospitals, the beds were empty. The U.S. Comfort, sent specifically to support the city in responding to the outbreak, reportedly refused to accept COVID-1 patients after their arrival.
Officials with New York City’s health department claimed that both public and private hospitals were able to request transfers to Billie Jean King and other temporary facilities, but acknowledged that patients would not be transferred if they met one of the at least 25 conditions barring transfer.
“What stored the maximum lives was to make them more widely in hospitals and bring staff to hospitals, which we focused on,” said Matt Siegler, senior vice president of the city’s public conditioning system.
“Alternate deception has been used less than expected because we broke the curve, thank God,” added a spokesman for Mayor Bill de Blasio.

New York City has shown more than 226,000 times of the disease because the outbreak began this spring and has recorded 22,882 deaths from the virus. The rate of new infections in the city has stabilized in a giant component, and fitness officials reported approximately three hundred times at noon in recent weeks.
