A sailor from the U.S. aircraft carrier stricken with the novel coronavirus has died from complications related to COVID-19, the Navy said Monday.
The sailor from the USS Theodore Roosevelt was declared dead Monday after being taken to an intensive care unit last week, the Navy said in a statement.
The sailor’s identification is being withheld until 24 hours after next of kin is notified.
The sailor tested positive for the coronavirus March 30 and was in the middle of a 14-day isolation period on Naval Base Guam when he was found unresponsive during a daily medical check Thursday.
CPR was administered by fellow sailors and the onsite medical team in the isolation house before the sailor was transferred to the ICU at the U.S. Naval Hospital Guam, the Navy said.
The coronavirus outbreak aboard the Roosevelt has turned into a political firestorm after the ship’s former commander, Capt. Brett Crozier, wrote a letter pleading for permission to offload most of the ship’s crew.

Opiate Overdose?
How many COVID-19 deaths match this profile?
Doesn’t smell right.
Damn...
So, apparently these boats are the safest place on the planet. We are just now hearing about the first, singular death on one being reported as a major news story.
But it still sucks to be that one in a million.
But they kept allowing flights out of Wuhan to the rest of the world.
This was not happenstance, it was part of a biological warfare attack, calibrated to remain below a Pearl Harbor or 9-11 threshhold that would invite immediate massive retaliation.
But look at the results, including at least one CVN no longer mission-capable.
Prayers for the family.
Conditions that affects the lungs such as asthma could do it.
A seemingly minor skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis could also be the culprit. Both eczema and psoriasis can hit the lungs.
Some reported deaths of young otherwise healthy individuals due to the Chinese virus had asthma, eczema, or psoriasis as an underlying condition.
how about obesity and diabetes as the main ones followed by COPD, asthma, CHF and immune suppressed. those have been the statistical outliers.
on another note, young patients don’t KNOW that their pulse oximeter reading are low and tend to think that they’re a little short of breath.... but their X-rays look bad.
Understood. But he was just in quarantine. Not an ICU. Something happened RAPIDLY.
So the virus left him healthy enough that no medical attention was needed for 10 days - 30 March thru 9 April - then he was found unconscious and now has died?
Just what the heck kind of “quarantine” was going on? Maybe he’d have been better off on the ship where people would have been watching him!

I have a relative, works in a hospital, became very ill, tested positive for wu-flu. On home quarantine about a week(?) fever increased and breathing issues.
A long wait for an avaible wu-flu ambulence.
Hospitalized with wu-flu pneumonia, Docs are saying this is typical.
Immediately placed on oxygen (nasal cannula)and anti-malarial treatment; he is improving.
Age 45 and noticeably overweight.
The following is the complete April 13, 2020 statement from the Navy.
PEARL HARBOR (NNS) — The Sailor assigned to the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) who was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the U.S. Naval Hospital Guam April 9 (local date) died of COVID-related complications on April 13.
The name of the Sailor is being withheld until 24 hours after next-of-kin notification.
The Sailor tested positive for COVID-19 March 30, was removed from the ship and placed in an isolation house on Naval Base Guam with four other USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) Sailors. Like other Sailors in isolation, he received medical checks twice daily from Navy medical teams.
At approximately 8:30 a.m., Apr. 9 (local date), the Sailor was found unresponsive during a daily medical check. While Naval Base Guam emergency responders were notified, CPR was administered by fellow Sailors and onsite medical team in the house. The Sailor was transferred to U.S. Naval Hospital Guam where the Sailor was moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The Sailor was declared deceased April 13.

Imagine how many would have died at sea if the captain had not complained. He must have felt he was being ignored by the navy brass.
My guess is being noticeably overweight increased his vulnerability beyond that of a healthy 45 year old.

Perhaps, but his wife, who also knows how to overuse a fork, still has no symptoms, and has been tested.
Obviously this whole wu-flu thing is new to everyone and in a year or two they might have a handle on it?
Yes.
Note that the headline does NOT state that commievirus is what actually KILLED the sailor.
Unless somebody has a comorbidity or is otherwise medically fragile or complex, it is highly doubtful that someone would go from zero to dead in a day.
I am more likely to wager that the Hill is pushing the same false narrative that Fauci and the Chicoms are forcing the rest of the presstitutes to spew.
RIP.
