*Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly said Tuesday that the Navy is
working to evacuate some of the 4,000 people aboard the USS Theodore
Roosevelt

*Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said the outbreak on board had not
yet reached the stage for a full evacuation

*The warship was taken out of duty and docked in Guam last week after
25 crew members tested positive for COVID-19

*Modly said Guam does not have enough beds for the sailors

*The Navy is working with the government in Guam to find hotel space
or facilities for tents

*Crew who do not have coronavirus must be identified and remain on the
ship to ensure that it is defense ready

*Modly's comments came after a plea from the ship's captain Brett
Crozier to disembark 90 percent of the crew

*'We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die,' the captain wrote




I wonder what the US astronauts in the ISS
are thinking now.


"Um, I will skip that next rotation back to
Earth, I think I will just stay here for the
time being".
