The U.S. Navy is evacuating thousands of sailors from the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt in Guam after its captain warned a coronavirus outbreak was threatening the lives of the crew.

With dozens of COVID-19 cases discovered, a senior official said the Navy was rapidly arranging hotel rooms on the Pacific island for many of the 4,000-plus crew, while organizing a skeleton team of uninfected sailors to keep the ship operational.

Step 1) turn it off and walk away

Step 2) remember for legal reasons you have to actually have people half asleep in a cramped box "running it"

Step 3) cram some 18 year olds in the box with the reactor, lock the door, and walk away

Before this is done Trump will be in front of the media saying poo poo like "Can you believe it? Only 200,000 people, only 200,000! The media, the media they said millions would die. Millions! But you know what...not gonna happen. Not happening. And we didn't let it happen, only 200,000 people! Not bad, not bad."

His supporters will lionize him and continue to blame Democrats for this because some of them believe women should have a right to choose.

Does anyone know if there have been any blog updates from Dr. Shlain on LinkedIn since the last update (Web Archive link), or if he's hosting them somewhere else? I remember the one before it was particularly valuable when written, but I don't have a linkedIn to actually look at his profile.

Dyin' time's here. COVID has now spread from the large cities into the rural areas of the US where there are no hospital beds. That number of deaths is really gonna skyrocket now, as if it isn't already climbing near vertically.

As was pointed out earlier in the thread, I look forward to Strong Daddy Trump pointing to only 200k deaths as his perfect managing of the crisis, despite that probably being more than the rest of the world combined.

Sure but the joke is you can allocate infinity dollars for US flagged cruise ships because there aren’t any.

You cant because the NCL Pride of America is the lone US cruise ship. NCL was exploring reflagging more over winter but this probably puts a bit of a bump in that road.

Navy should have read the CDC report from February as it says something about the virus spread in enclosed spaces.

Hawaii probably needs a serious bailout right now so it might not even have been a bad idea! Though I guess that'd flow through to Norweigan cruise lines...

The parent company is incorporated in the Bahamas, however, and so Norwegian Cruise Lines is not eligible for any break or stimulus. NCL Pride of America could reflag and it wouldn't matter, because Norwegian isn't getting poo poo anyways,

https://www.salon.com/2020/04/01/trump-ignored-white-house-economists-warning-of-devastating-impact-of-pandemic-months-ago-report/

quote:

White House economists released a study last year that warned a pandemic could kill 500,000 people and devastate the economy months before the coronavirus outbreak, but top officials and the president appear to have ignored their warning.

A study by the Council of Economic Advisers ordered by the National Security Council predicted that a pandemic similar to the 1918 Spanish flu or the 2009 swine flu could lead to a half-million deaths and cost the economy as much as $3.8 trillion.

"Tens of millions of people could become ill, with many requiring hospitalization; and a significant number—especially among the vulnerable elderly population—could die," the study said.

Of loving course.

Every step, a fucking adventure.

Sept 2019... If this was in - February 2020, I may have a different level of outrage. There's going to be a lot of what ifs going on, but report released in Sept on an influenza pandemic that was probably worked on in 2018 isn't one of them.

Edit: Mom called - Dad tested positive.

He was tested to be discharged from the hospital. So far, his lungs look good but gently caress this sucks rear end.

How many FOIA requests & lawsuits do you think are churning for any intelligence briefings that mentioned this crisis to Trump right now? We literally have an organization in the IC dedicated to medical intelligence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_for_Medical_Intelligence

There is almost zero chance people weren't mentioning this possibility to Trump at some level circa February.
