The Captain should not have done what he did. He basically told the whole world the ship was not mission ready and vulnerable. He endangered the entire ship and the support fleet in that regard.

I don’t think that is near the only war vessel in trouble. The thought of that on ships with large crews in close quarters is a nightmare. I also realize that too much info on that would be a clear threat to national security. Navy personnel have not faced a threat so serious since WWII.

think of being on a sub......
I just watched the movie "On the Beach"......

I love you

WASHINGTON — A coroner in Indiana wanted to know if the coronavirus had killed a man in early March, but said that her health department denied a test. Paramedics in New York City say that many patients who died at home were never tested for the coronavirus, even if they showed telltale signs of infection.
In Virginia, a funeral director prepared the remains of three people after health workers cautioned her that they each had tested positive for the coronavirus. But only one of the three had the virus noted on the death certificate.
Across the United States, even as coronavirus deaths are being recorded in terrifying numbers — many hundreds each day — the true death toll is likely much higher

Official Counts Understate the U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll (Published 2020)

Inconsistent protocols, limited resources and a patchwork of decision making have led to an undercounting of people with the coronavirus who have died, health experts say.

You should know by now that all official facts are based upon "Fuzzy Math".

An article in this months USNI “Proceedings” regarding a letter written by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. Army to Major General William R. Shafter, Fifth Corps Commander. Col. Roosevelt allegedly passed a copy of it to the Associated Press correspondent who had it published the next day.

USS Theodore Roosevelt Commanding Officer Followed the Example of Colonel Roosevelt

The leak of Captain Crozier's letter is remarkably similar to an event involving Colonel Theodore Roosevelt in 1898.

I find this an odd twist in an already perverted tale. Heh everyone! Don't socialize with tigers! "GONG"

As long as I have an oz or less and I'm not stoned there isn't shit they can do here. I was kind of freaking out the first time I bought clones at the dispensary and was walking to the parking lot with these pretty plants peeking out above the shopping bag...lol.

I have a clone story.PM me.

You got that right.

I quit going to Giant Eagle during senior hours because it looks more like couples date night.

Watched an old lady in a mask see a neighbor or relative or whatever, go up to them and pull her fucking mask down to talk within a proximity of a foot and then touch them. Fucking idiots!

Now I drive by, count the cars, watch the door for 15 minutes and decide whether to go in or not. If I go in, I stay in the wide open areas and only go through aisles if noone is there. And I head for the checkout after 10 minutes no matter what as though it was radiation exposure.

I found a couple masks from doing attic insulation a couple years ago, but used them and don't know if three days decontaminated them or not. If they were contaminated to begin with. You can't wash paper.

I don't have a UV-C light and don't even know if you can buy one. Then never seem to mention what kind of UV light they are so they're probably UV-A. I think you need short wave C to disinfect quickly.

When I worked we didn't use UV, @jerryb73 might know. I'd have to know more about the mask in question to give you specious medical advice ;D

Hey, Annie. It is so awesome to have a medical professional like yourself at our service, especially at a time like this. One thing I don't understand is this viral load exposure. With other common coronaviruses, flus, etc.., I've always understood that once they are in you, no matter how much or how little, the invaders multiply exponentially in your body. Why is this SARS effectiveness dependent on the initial amount? For two weeks before I got my first symptoms, I saw no one and only went to the grocery store twice. I took all the recommended precautions, so I had to be exposed to a very small amount. That amount incubated and multiplied within me until my symptoms started, and then became much worse. Could you give me the simple explanation of role of viral load with this thing?

You were exposed to a small amount hence why you had a relatively uneventful course, thank god! You may have picked it up from a fomite (surface exposure). I was seriously concerned about your handling cash! You need to go to Apply Pay or PayPal, time for 21st Century drug dealing. I'm teasing but I'm so glad you are ok. I still play the clip you sent me. You are a gem Tyler.

Anyway viral load, when you get a large exposure it rapidly overwhelms your body's defenses and leads to a cytokine storm that ends up in ARDS. It's analogous to what we are doing by staying home and trying not to overwhelm our medical system. We can handle handfuls of sick but to many and we don't have enough nurses or ventilators or PPE to handle it. Same with your body, a little virus it can handle it, raise the temp, increase fluid dynamics but to much virus and your immune system is overwhelmed and crashes.

Please send me more music I could use it.
