Gloomy Times

            It's a gloomy morning in Hoboken and everything might seem like "business as usual" but that would be far from the truth.

In the weeks since the COVID-19 pandemic has had its grip on the world one of it's largest cities has grinded to a halt. Empty trains sit in vacant stations waiting for the few souls who still rely on the reduced service to get around. The normally busy streets that make up the greater New York area resemble those of ghost towns.

In a effort to get things back to normal the United States Navy has deployed the "USNS Comfort" from Naval Station Norfolk to Manhattan's Pier 90. While it may not be the answer to all the city's problems it comes with space for 1,000 patients that would otherwise end up in already crowded hospitals. The hospital ship was a welcome sight for many as it slowly sailed up the Hudson River with its iconic red crosses.
