A Navy hospital ship with 1,000 beds arrived Monday in New York City as the number of deaths in the state from the outbreak climbed quickly.

Last Updated Monday, March 30, 2020 6:42PM EDTNEW YORK -- A Navy hospital ship with 1,000 beds arrived Monday in New York City as the number of deaths in the state from the coronavirus outbreak climbed quickly. The disease continued to claim the lives of health care workers. Mayor Bill de Blasio said President Donald Trump's suggestion that thousands of medical masks are disappearing from New York City hospitals is "insulting" to front-line medical workers.

The Comfort, which was also sent to New York after the 9-11 terror attacks, has 12 operating rooms that could be up and running within 24 hours, officials said. At two Brooklyn hospitals, videos posted online by bystanders and a medical worker showed workers wearing protective masks and gowns loading bodies onto trailers from gurneys parked on the sidewalk.

"We in New York City have a desperate need for help over in Queens," said Von Essen, who was the city's fire commissioner on Sept. 11, 2001. "And we are working on that as we speak, there's folks trying to put it all together." On March 20, Ocran changed her profile picture on Facebook to include a mantra familiar to people on the front lines of the coronavirus fight: "I can't stay home ... I'm a healthcare worker."

At a Sunday briefing, the president told reporters they should be asking, "Where are the masks going? Are they going out the back door?"
