At least 23 sailors about the USS Roosevelt have tested positive for the virus and have been transported to a Navy medical facility.
Under Navy orders, the majority of the ship's crew has remained aboard the ship while pierside. Some have been moved to shore, though not in the individual housing advised under guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . U.S. Navy sailors participate in a small arms qualification aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Philippine Sea, March 22, 2020.In a copy of the memo, sent to top Navy leaders on March 30 and obtained by ABC News, Captain Brett Crozier, the ship's commanding officer , argued that testing was not enough and that more needed to be done to keep the virus from spreading quickly to the rest of the ship's crew.
Rump administration's did this
I hate giving this a like. Thinking of the families and friends of the entire Roosevelt crew. Last port, DaNang on their way home - bet they wish they’d made a straight beeline like the carrier they had to replace.
I do not understand why they will not allow the Soldiers to get off ship! What purpose is it for them to stay? Let them secure the ship and get off!! I pray this sick Trump Administration is not using these Soldiers as test monkeys because they are physically fit! My God 😢
This means no more capability to wage war
colbymommy Ignoring the pleas from an aircraft carrier Captain seems like a bad reelection strategy. He should anchor off maralago beach
How is this coronavirus affecting the Chinese military...?
How will the public on Guam be protected from introducing more cases & overwhelming local hospitals. This should be the 1 concern, please. Distancing & quarantine do not equal shore leave in a motel/hotel.
That’s just not true. They have a crew of 5000 sailors. Only 200 have tested positive for coronavirus. State the facts before you spew your venom!
Looks grim.
