I don’t understand the “pleading for resources to allow for the isolation of his crew” statement.
Their in port on Guam, onboard a nuke carrier? What other resources do they need to isolate themselves?
Just asking from a non-navy person...
Very good point, not sure what is being asked for.
Seems suspect — why not just disembark the sick? Guam is one of our territories, after all. Set up a field hospital, treat them. They shouldn’t be bad cases, they are all young, in good shape, and probably don’t have life-threatening underlying conditions (we don’t let active sailors operate with those, do we?)
