‘Sailors Do Not Need To Die’: Captain Of Aircraft Carrier With Coronavirus Cases Begs Navy For Help

A nuclear aircraft carrier’s captain begged U.S. Navy officials for help Monday as his ship holds over 100 sailors who have the novel coronavirus.

Capt. Brett Crozier sent a multi-page letter asking officials to send the ship resources so his men don’t die, according to the letter obtained by The Chronicle. Theodore Roosevelt, the aircraft carrier, has been siting in a Guam dock after a novel coronavirus outbreak on board less than one week ago.

“We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die. If we do not act now, we are failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset — our Sailors,” Crozier pleaded in the letter.

The ship’s crew is over 4,000 strong, and most of the crew remains on board. Only a few of those infected have been allowed off, despite it being nearly impossible to adhere to the social distancing guidelines and 14-day quarantine mandate, The Chronicle wrote.

“Due to a warship’s inherent limitations of space, we are not doing this,” according to Crozier. “The spread of the disease is ongoing and accelerating.”

“Removing the majority of personnel from a deployed U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier and isolating them for two weeks may seem like an extraordinary measure. … This is a necessary risk. Keeping over 4,000 young men and women on board the TR is an unnecessary risk and breaks faith with those Sailors entrusted to our care.”

Coronavirus: US Navy captain pleads for help over outbreak

The captain of a US aircraft carrier carrying more than 4,000 crew has called for urgent help to halt a coronavirus outbreak on his ship.

Scores of people on board the Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for the infection. The carrier is currently docked in Guam.

"We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die," Captain Brett Crozier wrote in a letter to the Pentagon.

It seems to me the thing to do is to get the healthy sailors off the ship (except for a skeleton force as needed to keep basic functions going.

Then, test EVERYONE and isolate the infected.

U.S. Navy to Commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt: Ack all. Stop. Understand situation is critical. Stop. Unable to help at this time. Stop.  USNS Comfort unable to respond and assist due to the fact that CALIFORNIA CAN'T TAKE CARE OF IT'S OWN SHIT! Stop.

Sounds like a good plan to me. Keep the sick on board as much as possible, treat them, and disinfect the ship (huge undertaking, I know) after the bug is done.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yes, this is some story, I don't want to state things wrong, I thought I heard it docked somewhere... I want stories in print.
