CNN/Reuters: More than 80% of the crew aboard a South Korean destroyer have tested positive for Covid-19
South Korea's military has recorded in biggest cluster of Covid-19 infections to date, with more than 80% of personnel aboard a navy destroyer on anti-piracy patrol in the Gulf of Aden testing positive.
While the 247 cases are not directly linked to new domestic infections, with the destroyer Munmu the Great having left South Korea to start its mission in February, the surge comes as the country battles its worst-ever outbreak of Covid-19 cases at home, with another 1,252 new infections reported for Sunday.
The country's Joint Chiefs of Staff said on Monday that just 50 of the ship's complement of 301 personnel had tested negative in an outbreak first reported on July 15.
Authorities have begun an operation to airlift them home, while a replacement team will steer the vessel back.

No naturally occurring virus spreads that effectively though.. and whoever released this virus is a psychotic tyrant and mass murderer and ok to start WW3 and worse
Rhinovirus hits everyone in a family or office.
Also, if push came to shove, is there in degradation in ship's crew performance?
Anon.. fair comment, but please keep in mind the above was referring to 80%infection rate in a professional shop crew trained to avoid contamination and with protective gear, masks and social distancing. To me it looks airborne.
Ship not shop^^
Exactly.
Oh sorry..100 million each

Any comments from Amazon's employees?
Corona (common cold 16% of cases), rhinovirus (~80% of cases) and influenza are primarily respiratory viruses.
Ever seen a conjunctivitis on a ship of 3,000? Stuff can spreads really fast due to surfaces. Of course the professional crew was cleaning the entire time with spray and wipe. Lot of professionals and still a lot of disease.
