Navy Times: ‘A small number’ of carrier George HW Bush sailors test positive for COVID-19
Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush have tested positive for COVID-19 this summer, but Navy officials are declining to say how many have contracted the novel coronavirus or when the infections were detected.
“A small number of Sailors have been diagnosed with COVID this summer,” Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, a spokeswoman for Naval Air Force Atlantic, said in an email to Navy Times. “USS George H.W. Bush is not in a deployment status, and similar to other commands in the U.S. Navy with a small number of cases, there has been no impact to readiness.”
The crew members who tested positive “remain in isolation at their private residences in Virginia and receive daily medical supportive care until they have recovered,” Cragg said.
Bush entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in February 2019 and is in the midst of a 28-month maintenance availability.

ReplyDeleteNo one under 50 has died in my region. I have heard of 17 year old died of COVID in Florida, Liberals will point out one in 1,000 or 1 in 10,000 cases and opine that children are at risk too. But liberals lie by omission and purposefully so. The 17 year old had cancer and an autoimmune disease. She was also over weigh, which might have been a complication of her cancer and auto immune disease.

So why is the Navy playing this game?
