Title: U.S. Naval Ship Quarantined
Post by: Jackalope on March 14, 2019, 05:55:36 AM
   I thought that it is unusual for a ship to be quarantined.  https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/03/14/us-warship-sails-the-arabian-sea-avoiding-port-killing-time-and-germs/ (https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/03/14/us-warship-sails-the-arabian-sea-avoiding-port-killing-time-and-germs/)   I'm surprised the "authorities" don't quarantine those cruise ships that have Norovirus outbreaks.

it is interesting.

What was that TV show about some virus around the world and only a US Navy ship was not infected and saved the world?

Test run?  Developing antibodies?  Immunology?

The Last Ship. I don't watch much TV at all, but I watched that series. There were a few episodes that made me angry (particularly in the last season) because I thought the scenarios that took place in specific episodes would have never happened, but I actually think overall it was a great show.

Besides highlight the dangers of a pandemic, it showed other great scenarios such as a cyber attack on satellites, food shortages, and of course some great naval conflicts and gun battles on land.

   I haven't watched the TV show, but I did the read the book.  I think Johny would be interested in the novel, as it does have sailing in it.  The book was pretty good.

I enjoyed that show but it did not take long for the commander of the ship to get ridiculously emotional over every little thing and I lost interest. I did like the idea behind the series but wish it was better written
