How is a state of the art "flag ship" of sorts not able to remain completely uninfected?

Must have been a hell of an away party.

Now is not the best time to be on a ship.

“This just in....the hospital ship mercy has experienced a China flu unknown origin flu outbreak...Trump should never have sent it to NY LA. Why oh why did he send that ship there? He should have know it was going to infected, how can he be so mean, and blatantly misguided about public health and safety...he really doesn’t know what he’s doing...did we mention that the market crash had nothing to do with the flu, it was all Trumps fault”.

-lame stream headline/screen banner/talking point (my prediction).

Infections don't care what their hosts are aboard. The host is the vessel.

It was just a matter of time, especially with this virus.

Sooooo crazy train dude was RIGHT... but he should of attacked the ship in his OWN backyard instead!

It's a hospital ship that's been to some pretty nasty parts of the globe. They deal with bugs every day, and much worse. If anyone knows how to handle and contain stuff, they do. Anything 'viral' is now viral, anytime, anywhere by whatever means. That's how the op works. Expect more of it.

It's a hospital. Infections happen. Staff get sick. That's the nature of the beast. This is happening to Comfort, too. The interior of those ships are pretty cool at all times to reduce the chances of bacteria growth, but that won't stop a virus. People with the all matters of illness have been on those ships. With both ships now accepting and treating COVID-19 patients, personnel were bound to get sick. This is non-news. More like background noise when the tv loses reception and you get that fuzzy black and white pixel image.

China flu unknown origin flu

USNS Mercy was sent to Los Angeles, USNS Comfort was sent to New York.

For those interested in learning about the hospital ships, look for season 2 episode 1 of the tv series Sea Monsters.

Don't believe the government "experts" that swear this thing is not airborne yet claim they have no idea how it really gets around. It could blow in the wind, come in on supplies, there are just all sorts of potential vectors and pathways onto the ship.

The military has a hard time keeping illegal drugs off ships and cell phones out of Brigs...all bigger than a virus but still hard to prevent from slipping on board.

Yeah i agree with the difficulty factor but i'm just discouraged i guess at the failure.

Transient-thanks for the link to the video. I enjoyed watching that. I was surprised how current it was.
