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.

Three cases were reported aboard the TR on Tuesday. By Friday morning, more than 30 sailors aboard the carrier had reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus, according to Fox News.

The TR is one of two US carriers in the Pacific, the other being the USS Ronald Reagan, which is currently in port at Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan. Fox News reported Friday that at least two cases have been reported aboard the Reagan.

How will they fit those Aircraft carriers into a hospital bed?

They will be ok

Navy and Marines are younger and more physically fit than most Americans and will shrug off the commie virus with no loss of combat readiness

The good news is that most of the are in good shape and most of the medical conditions that make the virus more dangerous would disqualify them from service.

I doubt that they will have too much trouble with it. Hardly a pre-existing group there. Was kinda surprised that they may have got it from Vietnam........last port of call..........times change......LOL

Great fun for the swabbies though if you like whisky and women

......as someone mentioned, they have very tight quarters...I was on an LPH, an LHA, and 2 LSTs ......and the food is like a buffet where they serve you the food....the chow halls/galleys are VERY cramped
...however, they can enforce measures--not that I think it would work now.....
my company has enforced many measures to keep any outbreak to a tiny minimum

I don't think this is terrible news, as it shows that the Chinese Kung Flu might be a lot more widespread than the statistics indicate, and therefore a lot less fatal

Of course its reached Vietnam

and since its spread by body contact what better place than the bars where sailors spend port of call?

We are damn good. We've created ships that can catch a virus.
