2 U.S. Aircraft Carriers have the coronavirus
One in Guam. The other in Yokosuka Japan. Roosevelt and the Reagan. The Roosevelt is testing every crewman and it will take 25 days. If we needed another lab experiment in a confined place with lots of people in the same airflow.....we just got it.

A US aircraft carrier could be stuck in port for almost a month for coronavirus testing, but the Navy is trying to cut that time down
At the current pace, testing the entire crew could leave the carrier stuck in port for nearly a month.
- The US Navy is presently dealing with a serious coronavirus outbreak aboard a deployed US Navy aircraft carrier — USS Theodore Roosevelt.
- The ship is in port in Guam, and the Navy is working to test all 5,000 crew members.
- At the current pace of 200 tests per day, it would take 25 days to complete testing, acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly said Friday.
- Calling that time frame "unacceptable," the acting secretary said the Navy is bringing in additional capabilities to expedite the process.
