Nearly 3,000 sailors aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier where the coronavirus has spread will be taken off the ship by Friday, Navy officials said as they struggle to quarantine crew members in the face of an outbreak.

So far, fewer than 100 of the nearly 5,000 sailors assigned to the USS Theodore Roosevelt, now docked in Guam, have tested positive for the virus, but the Navy is moving sailors into various facilities and probably will begin using hotel rooms in the coming days. Navy leaders are talking with government officials in the U.S. territory to identify rooms for the crew members.

Navy policy for ships-at-sea should be revised to:
- NO shore leave ANYWHERE for the immediate future,
and
- ANY ship that had shore leave since January 1st should have the ENTIRE crew tested for COVID-19.

But are there enough tests for that?
