Didn’t the DOD send HCQ for them?
How many sick in the Red Chinese Navy?
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
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.
Shut yer yaps!!!
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.
So the disease is carried by seamen.
If so.. WHAT CATEGORY they fall into dictates how contagious or dangerous they are.
Antigen negative, antibody negative = You haven't yet contracted COVID-19, although you could be incubating a case of COVID-19.
Antigen positive, antibody negative = You have a case of COVID-19 which you haven't begun to fight off.
Antigen positive, antibody positive = You have a case of COVID-19 which you are fighting off
Antigen negative, antibody positive = You've had a case of COVID-19 and can be cleared to go back to work
it’s sorrowful that one sailor apparently died of covid, but you’ll never have a more solid contagion case study.
about 12% infection rate (so far?) from 4845 total sailors resulting in 587 supposed infections (didn’t see details on testing). in very close ship’s quarters for long duration, i’d say that seems very low to me, but maybe others here know better having been on board ship.
.08% serious cases (4)
.02% fatality rate (1)
today is april 14, they pulled in to guam march 26. so 20-21 days since the captain called for help. three weeks. and before that how many days on deployment? in the south china sea on 2/18 according to fleet tracker. later a stop in vietnam in early march.
so i’ll guess that the first infection for early march. so about 21 days since the first infection. so 42 days to the present. that gives me a way to estimate infectivity using this exponential eq and solving for infectivity or X(R0?). X^41(sailor^days) = 587 sailors infected -> X = 587^(1/41) = 1.168 persons infected per day = estimated R0. that’s not very infective i think. so maybe it takes a pool of about 12 persons to infect 1 more per day as one interpretation of this statistic.
at least now i’ve got some rational idea of the infectivity of this new disease. given this estimate based on a solid case, i’m more confident that basic measures should safeguard me and my family in our normal lives until we get a vaccine for this, even if one of us gets it. based on other estimates of R0, this 1.168 is a lot less infective than say SARS which one site estimated to be 4.
Amazing. Chinese take out US aircraft carrier with one Vietnamese hooker. Now that is good bang for the buck.
THINK about that fact.
Pretty much the same results as the Diamond Princess cruise ship.
