I’m not clear what the USS Ronald Reagan and the USS Nimitz are supposed to do about the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The Phalanx CIWS is a pretty amazing weapon, but it’s probably not going to be effective against viruses.

Seems more likely they’re deploying because China has shown increased hostility toward Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong recently and we’re sending them a message to calm down.

Who writes this stuff?

With the top brass in the Pentagon openly defying and criticizing Trump of late, why wouldn’t China test us?

hostility toward Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong, Yeah.
Don’t neglect their little problem along the India China border and also VietNam, Brunei, and the Philippines and Malaysia in that little South China Sea problem the Chi-coms have created.
Seems the Chi-Coms are feeling their oats all over the place.
Go to youtube and check out the Russian military build up and war games the Ruskies have been doing along the Russia China borders. They share a border in two places and both are heavily fortified. Why? Cause neither Russia or China trust each other.
