The top Navy admiral now overseeing the USS Theodore Roosevelt has revealed that its sailors are 'struggling' after their captain was controversially sacked, as he admitted that the crew should have been told sooner about the 'true dangers of coronavirus'.

The commander of the 7th Fleet Vice Admiral Bill Merz visited the Navy ship on Tuesday, following the saga of the last week which saw Captain Brett Crozier fired after his memo urging the Navy to respond more quickly to a coronavirus outbreak onboard was leaked and acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly was then forced to resign amid a backlash over Crozier's ousting.

Merz said that morale onboard the Navy ship had plummeted, as 447 of the 4,000 crew members are now infected with coronavirus.

'There was lots of anxiety about the virus,' Merz told CNN.

It is 447 sailors. With an airwing onboard that would be approximately 6,000 sailors and airmen.

Now we have been treated to graphs of total infected and total dead. That is two graphs. it have got to wonder, if because people are engaged in propaganda or people can only count up up two.

"Man first learned to count to two, and a long time elapsed before he counted to higher numbers. There is a fair amount of evidence for this, perhaps none of it more fascinating than that preserved in man's languages. In Czech, until the Middle Ages, there used to be two kinds of plural one for two items and one for more than two items." - Beckmann

Maybe the audience of clickbait newspapers can only take in 2 facts at a time or only vote Democrat?

There is not enough computing power or intelligence in the news rooms to graph infections, deaths, and recoveries?

About a step and leaf diagram of deaths per age group?

Has you average news reporter ever heard of a stem and leaf plot?

Of those 447 sailors whose average age of 24, how many were hospitalized? Zero from last reports.

So why are they depressed? Because of the Goebbels' news rooms across the globe in free countries ran by a bunch of goosestepping little Eichmanns.
