Well she was half right. That snippet was from her segment on Friday, March 20th. The most generous interpretation I can give for 'next week' ended with the second Saturday from that point: the 28th. Even those uppity whippersnappers who pretend the week starts on Monday would have to concede that the second Monday does not qualify.
Now where she was wrong is in her assertion that neither ship would be operational for 'weeks'. It missed the deadline, but showed up on the next business day.
In terms of the happy talk we've had on this front from the federal government, there is no sign that the Navy hospital ships that the president made such a big deal of, the Comfort and the Mercy, there's no sign that they'll be anywhere on-site helping out anywhere in the country for weeks yet. The president said when he announced that those ships would be put into action against the COVID-19 epidemic. He said one of those ships would be operational in New York harbor by next week. That's nonsense. It will not be there next week.
