Roosevelt is tied up alongside the pier in Guam while every crew member is tested.

And they remain in a fully operational, deployed status. They could be on Fiery Cross Reef in less than 3 days...or intercepting a Chicom fleet exiting the South China Sea anywhere.

It’s hyperbolic to say they are quarantined.

They ARE the friggin quarantine.

The problem with testing everyone on board the USS Roosevelt is that the tests are not perfectly reliable, and there is an interval of a few days to a week (it varies) in which a victim newly infected with Wuhan Virus does not show as infected on a lot of tests. They don't have symptoms and generally aren't infectious either. The Virus is simply slowly multiplying.

Effective testing here would consist of three tests taken at eight day intervals for everyone on board, with new people being barred for entry during the 24-day period. The eight-day interval is to outlast almost all pre-infectious periods while the Virus is building up in someone.

How fast a given victim goes from infection to testing positive for it seems to depend a lot on the initial viral load producing the infection.
