A U.S. Navy destroyer is believed to have a significant coronavirus outbreak on board as it carries out a counter-narcotics mission in the Caribbean, U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday, marking the latest challenge for the military in dealing with the virus.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that over a dozen sailors had tested positive for the virus. Given the size of ship, usually only a few hundred sailors, an outbreak like this is likely to cause concern and raise questions about whether it would have to return to the United States.
The cases on the ship appear to be the first onboard a ship currently underway at sea.
The aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt was in the Asia Pacific when it had an outbreak onboard, having to eventually dock in Guam. Nearly 850 out of the roughly 4,800 personnel on the carrier have tested positive on the Roosevelt.

āImmunity passportsā in the context of COVID-19
Scientific Brief
24 April 2020
WHO has published guidance on adjusting public health and social measures for the next phase of the COVID-19 response.1 Some governments have suggested that the detection of antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, could serve as the basis for an āimmunity passportā or ārisk-free certificateā that would enable individuals to travel or to return to work assuming that they are protected against re-infection. There is currently no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection.
Damn it, Trump!

White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett says unemployment rate will approach Great Depression
KEY POINTS
- Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn on Sunday morning, Hassett said the unemployment rate could hit 16% and āthe next couple of months are going to be terribleā for economic data.
- Hassett described the coronavirus shutdown as āthe biggest negative shock that our economy I think has ever seen.ā
- āYouāre going to see numbers as bad as weāve ever seen,ā Hassett said.
First the party in majority drops the ball and allows the USA to become the epicenter of this terrible plague and now they want to blame someone else?! His incompetence has always been a national security risk. Look at the numbers! Total confirmed cases: 965,435 ā Total deaths: 54,856 ā Total recoveries ā 106,985 Looking at these numbers I canāt imagine weāre even half way towards reopening the economy.
And not one flag at ordered at half staff ordered by this administration.
President of the plague. 
Hammer them back, they donāt have a good argument. Is the stimulus working? Are hospitals getting supplies? Are the people ok? These are valid questions.
Skip the China talk and pivot towards what America is doing for Americans right now.
Simple point. Endless options. Demand empathy from these people.

It wonāt matter where the plague came from if we canāt pull together to right this ship of fools and save ourselves.

Pelosi says āguaranteed incomeā plan for Americans worth considering as House Democrats push forward with next big coronavirus bill
āWe may have to think in terms of some different ways to put money in peopleās pockets,ā Pelosi said on MSNBC. āOthers have suggested a minimum income, a guaranteed income for people. Is that worthy of attention now? Perhaps so.ā
Her comments came as House Democrats push forward to unveil a major new economic rescue bill in coming days. Democrats want to boost aid for cities and states, increase funding for nutrition assistance, and raise financial support for individual Americans. The emerging Democratic bill is certain to run into opposition from most Senate Republicans, and could set off a fierce ideological and partisan battle about how much further the federal government should go in its coronavirus response as the nationās economy reels heading into the election.
A basic income would protect what markets we have left as well as our people.
