(Brett Samuel) Military personnel will begin treating coronavirus patients at new medical facilities that have popped up in the cities of New York, New Orleans and Dallas, the White House said Thursday, marking a shift in policy for how the Pentagon is aiding in the medical response to the pandemic.

Vice President Pence said at a White House briefing on the virus that President Trump had directed the Department of Defense to use military personnel to operate facilities fully focused on coronavirus patients.
The move comes one day after Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in response to a question from The Hill that the military would not be treating coronavirus patients unless “push comes to shove,” asserting the Pentagon’s resources are better used building hospitals and treating trauma patients to lighten the load on hospitals.
Instead, the military will operate the Javits Center in New York City, the convention center in New Orleans and the convention center in Dallas.
All three facilities were turned into makeshift hospitals by the Army Corps of Engineers and National Guard to help deal with the surge in patients, though they were initially expected to only house people dealing with illnesses other than coronavirus to help ease the burden on existing hospitals.

The Pentagon has also deployed Naval hospital ships to New York City and Los Angeles to provide additional hospital bed capacity for non-coronavirus patients.
But The New York Times reported on Thursday that the USNS Comfort in New York has only taken on 20 patients, infuriating hospital executives who were grappling with a lack of space in their own facilities.
The increased participation by the military reflects the reality that cities across the country are scrambling to find as many hospital beds as possible to treat coronavirus patients as cases surge in certain metro areas.
There were more than 245,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. as of Thursday night, according to Johns Hopkins University data, and more than 5,000 Americans had died from the virus.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

For all you that may believe this is about a virus, wake up. This about 5G, agenda 21.
The Corona virus allows 5G to break down the human body through radiation poisoning. Agenda 21 nuclear alternative. Every part of the globe where the Coronavirus has killed has implemented 5G, fact. Italy, cruise ship, Wuhan, all 5G. Our lockdown is a complete smokescreen to the implementation of 5G. Unless you are smarter then the 28,000 scientists that have been warning us about the dangers of 5G. This is real…!
Get educated on what it will do to life on this planet. In addition not gathering in numbers for prayer is one of their weapons. Continue praying as you are in church. Church is and always where we are, not where we go. This vaccine will contain a chip (666) mark of the beast. This vaccine has been created with the help of Bill Gates, the prince of depopulation.
Projections on deagle.com indicate by 2025 there will only be 54 million people left in America.
Take heed and release fear of this virus and the media attempting to control our lives.
Do not stand down! And shame on all of our military, brainwashed robots completely aloof to their oaths. WE ARE ALIVE AND OWED THE LAW OF PEACE. PTSD will be your hell when you realize following orders does not make something right.
Blessings!
