The naval hospital ship USNS Comfort docked in New York City to treat non-coronavirus patients and relieve the city's hospital system. In a bizarre incident at the Port of Los Angeles, a train engineer was arrested for intentionally crashing a locomotive near the USNS Mercy. The engineer allegedly believed the ship was part of a government takeover conspiracy.

Questions are raised regarding why empty Navy hospital ships were not used to house elderly COVID-19 patients instead of returning them to nursing homes in New York. The death of comedian Carl Reiner is mentioned, with the expectation that he will not receive a traditional celebrity funeral due to lockdown restrictions. Meanwhile, the Netherlands has reportedly codified "1.5-meter society" rules into permanent law.
