America; Unable or Unwilling to Come to Israel’s Military Aid or Defense (Ezekiel 38): US Navy rushing to test all 5,000 (5) sailors on deployed aircraft carrier hit by serious coronavirus outbreak. There is ‘that’ number five (5) again!

There has been a coronavirus outbreak aboard a deployed US Navy aircraft carrier, and the situation is getting worse. In response, the Navy is pulling the ship into port and testing the entire crew.

“As testing continues, additional positive cases of COVID-19 have been discovered aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt,” Chief of Naval Operations Michael Gilday said Thursday.

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly reported Tuesday that “three cases of COVID-19 have been identified among personnel currently deployed and underway on the USS Theodore Roosevelt.” Those three (3) cases marked the first aboard a deployed warship.

A Navy official told Insider on Wednesday that the number of infected sailors had risen to eight, as five more sailors had tested positive. By Thursday, the number of coronavirus cases aboard the carrier had climbed to nearly two dozen, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing defense officials.

“We found several more cases on board the ship,” Modly told reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday. “We are in the process now of testing 100% of the crew of that ship to ensure that we’re able to contain whatever spread might have occurred there.”

There are around 800 COVID-19 test kits on board, but more are being brought in. There are around 5,000 (5) sailors aboard the carrier who will need to be tested. The first priority will be symptomatic sailors, individuals who have come into contact with infected sailors, and essential watch standers, Navy leadership said.

“We are taking this threat very seriously and are working quickly to identify and isolate positive cases while preventing further spread of the virus aboard the ship,” Gilday said.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt, nicknamed the “Big Stick,” is currently in Guam, where it was initially expected to make a port visit. While in port, sailors will not be permitted to leave the pier area, and base and regional personnel will not have access to the pier.

“The resources at our naval medical facilities in Guam will allow us to more effectively test, isolate, and if necessary treat Sailors,” the CNO said. ” We expect additional positive tests, and those Sailors who test positive will be transported to the US Naval Hospital Guam for further evaluation and treatment as necessary.”

Some infected sailors have already been taken off ship. Modly told reporters Thursday that none of the sailors who have been airlifted off the ship due to the coronavirus have been hospitalized, explaining that their present symptoms are “very mild.” He said there are “aches and pains” and “sore throats,” but nothing requiring hospitalization.

The acting secretary insisted that the ship remains operationally capable and able to fulfill its mission if necessary. 

The Navy reported Thursday that 104 active-duty service members have been confirmed to have the coronavirus. That figure is more than one-third the 280 infected active-duty military personnel across the Department of Defense.

Those who may be first-responders, doctors, nurses, support staff, policemen, firefighters, homeless volunteers, those in the red cross or other emergency aid and relief organizations, in the national guard or military, pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. You get the picture.)

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
