Captain of coronavirus-hit US aircraft carrier with up to 5,000 crew asks for urgent help
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-01/captain-of-coronavirus-hit-us-aircraft-carrier-asks-for-help/12108924We heard so much about cruise ship passengers being infected with the coronavirus, and after disembarkation, some will die and other infected ones add to the statistics of the case list.
Unfortunately, the virus does not discriminate an ordinary passenger, or one who wears a uniform serving the country.
Questions must be asked how these “sailors” of the aircraft carrier contract the deadly disease. Ordinary people cannot get on the ship, but the sailor can get off it when it docks at some ports before reaching Guam.
Social distancing proves to be the way to prevent spreading the disease. Unfortunately these poor sailors do not have the luxury to physical distance from each other at 1.5m or 5ft during dining and carrying out their duties. Even the sleeping cabin is very tiny compared with those on a cruise ship.
Guam has its first infected case. It can ill afford to have many more, because the hospital and healthcare systems are not catered for an outbreak, even if it is on a very scale.
Please for your life sake and others too, Stay Home and Stay Safe.
Thank you for reading.
