At first I saw that among his fleet of 6 ships, that he has a research vessel and a hospital vessel. I thought, "Ok, funding research and a fucking full on floating hospital that he can send to disasters and places in need. That would actually be pretty fucking cool."
But, then I kept reading "a full-fledged hospital, serving as a safeguard for the cruising billionaire during the COVID-19 pandemic". 🤦
It's a "support" vessel that follows his main yacht around in case he needs medical care.
his personal private hospital.
