In the letter dated Monday, he called for “decisive action” and removing over 4,000 sailors from the ship and isolating them. Along with the ship’s crew, naval aviator and others serve aboard the Roosevelt. Acting U.S. Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said he had heard about the letter on Tuesday morning and that the Navy has been working for several days to get the sailors off ship in Guam. Modly said Guam did not have enough beds, and the Navy was in talks with the local government to use hotels and set up tents.
But the Theodore Roosevelt is just the latest example of the spread of the virus within the U.S. military. Navy officials say that sailors onboard a number of ships have tested positive, including an amphibious assault ship at port in San Diego.
سبحان الله
It is supposed to have comprehensive medical care because it is the largest American warship
ماني فاهم شيء بس احس الموقف يحتاج له ذكاء ابن سلمان♥️🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
يمكن سمكه اعدتهم
600 have tested positive 😰 they said no need to transfer them to US ,, the hell is coming
Researchers at Czech Technical University have made makeshift respirators using snorkel masks which they have been distributing to hospitals around Prague
Stronger measures? the USAF is forcing medical staff at Travis AFB to reuse disposable medical masks exposing them to added risk of contracting and spreading covid , threatening our servicemen and women and our nation..
Really, I cannot believe that what happened in the US, the health care system is very weak. Allah saves the people.
The poison maker needs to taste it
Theodore Roosevelt Princess
Worst administration in the US history.
First time to see a highlly 'effective' product made in China!....it is spreading very fast to the point that ppl can't imagine that they might be the next victim! Wish that world condition can be reset!
USNavyMomPA were they at sea? what port were they at so that the sailors went ashore to catch the covid-19, what's the story? Hmmm.
天祐美國!!
nycsouthpaw “ U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Tuesday it was not time to evacuate the carrier, adding he had not read the letter in detail.” Incompetence and indifference.
Why are these sailors being left stranded? Why are they waiting on markespertoreadandreply in such an urgent matter involving lives with time sensitivity? Who does defensesec report to? Trump? Where does the buck stop? Do they intend to leave them adrift in dire straits?
manup
Finally, someone wants to do something right about the novel coronavirus, saving lives rather than risking them, Capt. Crozier of the USSTheodoreRoosevelt, who has proposed evacuating his ship, isolating only the sick. The woodenheaded U.S. Secretary of Defense won't let him.
Someone leave the ship without permission when docking？
“Navy leadership”
Put more UVC filters in the airco etc on board of ships to kill virus and bacteria.
USNavyMomPA Take care of these sailors. Screw this up, good luck getting anyone to sign up to serve on one in the future..
How did they get 80 tests on the ship!?
nycsouthpaw Unbelievable. ”U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said on Tuesday it was not time to evacuate the carrier, adding he had not read the letter in detail.”
Captain realDonaldTrump will have them to you forthwith I'm positive. Abbott Laboratories will produce 50000 of its ID NOW COVID-19 ... of a new coronavirus test that delivers positive results in 5 minutes
nycsouthpaw There's no leadership in this nation, absolutely none.
vikramchandra who is writing this horror-film script?!
The luxury cruise ships, now Navy ship - this coronavirus COVID-19 is going to destroy the humans everywhere. Rich and so safe people can't escape, how about poor people like me? Just waiting to be listed. Stay Safe, Good luck.
US has a worst healthcare system to save people in the world while has most invincible aircraft carriers to kill people in the world.
nycsouthpaw This is what happens when you put a vainglorious incompetent in charge. The pandemic team that was fired would have had a plan for this as well as many other contingencies that could be imagined by experts.
nycsouthpaw Test
nycsouthpaw Facts matter. Help them.
🦠🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊
how and where did the Captain's sailors get infected?
nycsouthpaw Unbelievable!
how did the Captain's sailors get infected?
He is a good captain, a good leader, for his sailors. Humankinds will win this coronavirus.
where did the sailors get covid19 from ? no where ?
eddulucasve tiene covid 19 el porta aviones
This guy will be relieved of his command soon, you can't just evacuate a carrier, he should know better, someone has to stand the watch.
GeromanAT The same that send missiles against poor countries.
pdacosta But realDonaldTrump wants dead sailors.
The Backfire Operation.
Where are you going to send them? If 80 percent are currently infected, it's too late for any kind of quarantine. Likely the majority of all the US military personnel have been exposed. The only silver lining is their demographics are younger than the country as a whole.
Walk softly and carry a big.........uh, virus?
Pray they don't take revenge for what they are thinking that they are been left to die. They are on war ship.. Hope they don't go crazy and launch some missiles. Sigh!!
