'A descendant of the ship’s namesake also urged for the crew to be quickly removed from the ship.

“Members of the Roosevelt family and I are extremely concerned about the plight of the sailors and captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt,” Tweed Roosevelt, a great-grandson of President Theodore Rooseveltand chairman of the Theodore Roosevelt Institute at Long Island University, wrote in an email Wednesday. “We must get these brave men and women off at once to protect their lives and the future viability of the ship.”'

Young people seldom die or corona, but can end up with irreversible lung damage (the chinese virus causes chronic pneumonia, severely infected lungs)
Anyone who smokes, or has any lung problem (astma, bronchitis etc), is extra vulnerable

And: obese people make up 90% of intensive care patients in some hospitals in The Netherlands. As many Americans are obese, this can also be a problem in law enforcement, or in the armed forces

Aircraft carriers are a bit like cruise ships: way too many people on a small area. Ideal for virusses. Perhaps the US Navy could study the mistakes Japan made by not letting the people on the ship get ashore and be put in quarantine:

(on a carrier crew have a lot less personal space presumably than on a cruise ship, so even higer risk of disease spreading)
