One part of me feels that way, like "well the death toll isn't really increasing that fast."

The other part of me remembers the last time I didn't take something bad seriously, which was Donald Trump running for president.

My fever never went over 99F, and I was able to work. It was a week when like, all my co-workers were out with a thing. I managed to only get sick in the middle of the week, and then went home that Friday cause I was feeling bad. But I work in a daycare. We catch everything.

USS Teddy Roosevelt has 70 cases and USS Ronald Reagan has a few. DOD can’t send some 2,000 ventilators because HHS refuses to tell them where to send them

In case you weren’t following the US now has two carrier groups out of commission due to COVID-19 and the administration is still bungling the response.

We can’t have anymore units sidelined. Trump needs to act or get out of the way

Yeah. That's what happens when school shooters, domestic terrorists, angry guys at the grocery store in florida and gang members/drug dealers are all packed into one single country.

how unusual is it for navy captains to publicize their letters to their superiors like the captain of the teddy bear did, therm? will such an act carry penalties?

It’s extremely unusual. They generally won’t catch heat for it if they don’t include any intel.

And it’s not just two aircraft carriers but two carrier groups which includes a lot of other ships

In less than a week we went from 1000, to 2000 to 3000. We will likely hit about 4000 tomorrow. Unless we have dramatically lowered infections rates, we are likely to hit 25k in less than two weeks when those who caught it in the lat couple weeks start to die.

Yes, but that is an officer’s responsibility. If he feels his crew is endangered he has the responsibility to act even if it means the loss of his command

The CCP has also been exposed as being a culprit behind the global mask and equipment shortage, by misleading other countries on the severity of the virus, while simultaneously buying up masks and equipment in western countries through shell companies, especially in Australia. It certainly didn't help that Trump sent them additional equipment, leaving an even bigger shortage than the one that the CCP helped create.
