One of the hospitalized sailors is in ICU
Four sailors on the San-Diego based aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt are in the hospital with COVID-19, the Navy said Tuesday. One is in intensive care.
The hospital admissions come the day after a member of the crew died of complications of the virus after four days in the ICU. The Defense department has not released the name of the sailor.
The Navy also said Tuesday that 589 of the Roosevelt’s crew have tested positive for the novel coronavirus. More than 4,000 of the crew have moved moved off the ship into housing on Guam, either in private homes or hotels.
The San Diego-based carrier has a total crew of roughly 4,845 service members, including its embarked air wing and command staff.

Didn’t the DOD send HCQ for them?
I don’t know about that, sorry.
Very good question. The hold over Obama Officers are as big as assholes as he is.
How many sick in the Red Chinese Navy?
$13 billion warship is non-functional and all my ex could complain about was the $250k flight the Navy Sec took to fly out to Guam and berate the Captin.
0.6% Hospitalization rate?
Yeah, whatever.
Let’s put this into perspective. How many sailors contract the common flu on an annual basis compared to how many have contracted the COVID-19?
Anybody? Bueller? Bueller?
This is just more hysteria.
Grow up and get a grip people and stop clutching your pearls.
Bunch of pussies.
This info should not be released to the public
Thus far. Sailors tend to be very healthy people without underlying medical conditions. Thank God.
USN ships, at sea or at dock, have no contagious disease handling SOP. And ships, especially aircraft carriers, can’t transfer sick personnel off the ship to the necessary medical facilities.
True story.
A purple haired vegan with a ring in her nose told me so.
Plus one fatality to date.
Yeah, and even if the Chinese are dumb enough to attack they get a nuc missle up their arse from one of our FBM boats. In fact cauterizing that part of the world is a great idea.
Shut yer yaps!!!
In an average year, 0.1% to 0.2% of people with seasonal flu die from it. As of yesterday in the U.S.A. there were 614,117 documented cases of coronavirus and 26,059 people have died. That’s a fatality rate of 4%. I’m sure that you can do the math comparing one or two tenths of one percent to four percent.
I do not consider President Trump to be a “pussy” for declaring a National Emergency.
“Proclamation on Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak”

Please define acronyms, just proper usage. SOP?
Standard Operating Procedure.
According to CDC in 2018-19, 35.5 million people got sick with influenza, 490,600 hospitalized, , and 34,200 died. That’s a hospitalization rate of 1.3%, and a death rate of just below 0.1%
On the TR, 589 got sick, 4 in the hospital, 1 death. That’s a hospitalization rate of 0.6% (!) and a death rate of 0.16%.
THOSE NUMBERS ARE NO WORSE THAN THE COMMON FLU. The only difference - sailors aboard the TR are younger and healthier than the general American population
Its what we have known already for several weeks about this disease - its has outsized effects only on the very old, or those already sick. NOT young, healthy sailors.
This is why I have ZERO respect for Crozier. He’s had grand total of 5 sailors in sick-bay out of nearly 5,000 due. Is this guy stupid, or a traitor playing politics? A lot of testing and a few extra precautions about the TR and the ship would have been fine.
In the meantime, we have taken America’s most expensive weapons system, which was forward-deployed - and neutralized it.
And...when the Secty of the Navy dealt with it, he was forced/asked to resign...
