6. Thanks!

The tweet is an update to the story. Per the story; "As of Tuesday, 589 Roosevelt crew members have tested positive and moved into quarantine in Guam, Navy officials said."

Looks like 26 more sailors have tested positive.

7. I wonder how much of our Navy is now out of service or crippled.....

as well as our other branches of service.

I also wonder how other nation's military assets have been compromised due to loss of personnel.

I'll bet this pandemic is driving the Pentagon and our intelligence community nuts.....
