New concerns in New York tonight over waste and possible mismanagement after many things like ventilators and hospital beds and facilities went unused as the state battles COVID-19. FEMA is closing the Javits Center after reportedly treating 1000 patients in the 2500 bed facility in a month. And the USNS Comfort sailed out of New York after seeing few patients in terms of its capacity as well. Here now, former governor of New York, former New York Governor George Pataki joins me. Governor Pataki, always good to see you, sir. Thank you very much for joining tonight. Thank you, Martha. So, you know, obviously, it's good news that these facilities that were built weren't maxed out and overflowing. That would have been a complete nightmare for a city that has already endured the burden, the biggest burden of this. But it does raise questions about whether or not, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars went into building these facilities that were based on models that should not have been adhered to. Absolutely right, Martha. But it's not just about wasting money, as bad as that is. It's about losing lives. And I know Andrew Cuomo is one of the most popular politicians in America today.
He has his briefings that are calm and informative. But when you look at the job that he is not doing when it comes to nursing homes, those beds should have been used to put the most vulnerable in those facilities. What happened in New York in my mind is a disgrace. The state directed nursing homes, and the one thing we know about this virus is the most vulnerable were the elderly. They directed that nursing homes take Coronavirus positive patients when they didn't have that protection, personal protective equipment. They didn't have the facilities. And as a consequence, we are approaching 4000 deaths in New York from nursing homes alone. Yes, they have wasted assets. Those positive patients should have been placed in the Javits Center or on the Comfort. They weren't. It's a failed policy and it's really sad for the people of New York, particularly those families who have lost loved ones. Yeah, I mean, it's a policy that is just almost impossible to wrap your head around. There's one facility that has the Isabella Geriatric Center. They lost 98 people from that center. It's 14 percent of their total - in their total residents.

今晚我们来关注纽约出现的浪费和管理不当问题，此前在全国抗疫时，呼吸机和医院病床等设备闲置了。据报道，美国联邦紧急事务管理署在一个月内用2500张床位救治了1000名病人之后，关闭了贾维茨会展中心。在病人数量变少后，美国海军医疗船“安慰号”也驶出了纽约。现在我们要与纽约州前州长乔治·帕塔基连线。很高兴见到你，帕塔基州长，感谢你今晚能与我们连线。谢谢你，玛莎。你知道的，显然，这些设施不再爆满是个好消息。这对一个已经承受重担的城市来说完全是个噩梦。但这的确引发了问题，那就是，用于建造这些设施的数亿美元是否基于不应该遵守的模型。完全正确，玛莎。但这不仅仅是浪费金钱那么糟糕，这关乎失去生命的问题。而且我知道安德鲁·科莫是当今美国最受欢迎的政治家之一。
他的简报讲话沉稳而富有信息量。但当你观察他的工作时，你会发现在养老院上，病床应该放置到这些最脆弱群体身处的地方。我认为，在纽约发生的事情是一个耻辱。由州来指导养老院，而且我们知道，最易感染这个病毒的就是老年人。他们让养老院在没有个人防护设备的情况下接收新冠肺炎患者。他们没有设施，这导致纽约的养老院就有接近4000例死亡。嗯，他们在浪费资产。这些患者应当安置在贾维茨会展中心或“安慰号”上，但他们没有。这是个失败的政策，对纽约的人，尤其是对那些失去亲人的家庭来说，这真的很痛心。嗯，这个政策几乎不可能被认真考虑。有个设施是关于伊莎贝拉老人中心的，那里已经有98人死亡。这占了总人数的14%。
