People crammed on ships get sick with the same thing pretty frequently...that's why a cruise has never been on my to-do list.
Intense GI distress is something I don't want at all and certainly don't want to share with a ship full of strangers....same goes for hacking, wheezing, might die from URIs. ![[Image: MmQV79M.png]](https://i.imgur.com/MmQV79M.png) (April 21, 2020 at 12:10 pm)arewethereyet Wrote: People crammed on ships get sick with the same thing pretty frequently...that's why a cruise has never been on my to-do list. Don't remember any plague-like situations when I was active duty. Have to look that up.

I am trying to get the unbiased reports from the critically thinking theists. I'm not too swift, as you know; I only watch FauxNews and I can't tell when Trump lies and when the Trumpettes lie for him. So they did not decommission the captain - he's still on the pay-roll, and I think I saw a report that they are considering returning him to duty. They decommissioned the Secretary of the Navy. He did something wrong - he did not want the ship to isolate - he wanted it to keep steaming on. Quote:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/07/us/po...iring.html Or maybe, the Captain maybe got the virus, and asked to be relieved to isolate, because he knew he was going to go into the unconsciousness of a fever, and/or he realized that the crew needed to be isolated, anyway; so he told the other ships in his fleet that he was going to park the ship in Guam immediately.

The (acting) sec of the navy resigned in disgrace after flying out to the plague ship at taxpayer expense to tell the crew to stop loving their stupid captain who tried to save their lives, and his speech aboard the vessel found it's way to the media.
They tried to stop that from happening, and failed.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
So what are the statistics?
4069 person crew 678 positive COVID-19 10 hospitalizations 1 death And it sounds like they are testing the crew everyday - some testing positive after having been negative: Navy leadership took the steps after a number of sailors tested positive for the novel coronavirus even after their 14-day isolation period, three crew members told POLITICO. Some of the sailors who recently tested positive had previously tested negative, one Navy official said. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/21...ure-198081 |
