Is the USS Theodore Roosevelt Telling Us There Is No Immunity?

The Associated Press is reporting that five sailors from the USS Theodore Roosevelt who originally tested positive of the coronavirus and later tested negative and cleared to return to the ship…have now tested positive. Is this an indication that the expected immunity is suspect or that the Trump Navy is having issues with testing? And does that mean the vaunted ‘herd immunity’ is going to be a hoax this time? And will there be any valid vaccine?

Five sailors on the U.S. aircraft carrier sidelined in Guam due to a COVID-19 outbreak have tested positive for the virus for the second time and have been taken off the ship, according to the Navy.

he resurgence of the virus in the five sailors on the USS Theodore Roosevelt underscores the befuddling behavior of the highly contagious virus and raises questions about how troops that test positive can be reintegrated into the military, particularly on ships.

All five sailors had previously tested positive and had gone through at least two weeks of isolation. As part of the process, they all had to test negative twice in a row, with the tests separated by at least a day or two before they were allowed to go back to the ship.

The sailors have been tested using the nasal swab. And in some cases the infection can be at such a low level that it is not detected by the test. It’s not clear whether cases like these are actual relapses, or if people tested negative without really being completely clear of the virus.

So once again, our testing is suspect. Can the president just sit down for a moment and let medical experts figure this shit out. This isn’t a typical virus.
