"As of today, 92% of the USS Theodore Roosevelt crew members have been tested for COVID-19, with 550 positive and 3,673 negative results,'' Navy officials said Saturday. "3,696 Sailors have moved ashore." So neglecting the 8% not tested, around 15% are infected - question is how many will have severe symptoms/need hospitalization (1 so far after 12 days, as implied from the article). Useful information would be what test did they use - sounds like yes/no - and then how many of the 3,673+ have been exposed or in other words, have the antigen. Also, the question I rarely see asked - of those that are positive, how many will have life changing effects (e.g., lung damage but survive)?
