一艘执行唐纳德·特朗普总统最近加强的禁毒任务的美国军舰现在正遭受这种疾病的严重爆发。特朗普总统最近加强了与阻止新型冠状病毒传播有关的禁毒任务。因为一名水手需要医疗护理，另一个国家介入帮助。
美国海军星期五宣布，阿列克·伯克级导弹驱逐舰“美国军舰”上的一名水手基德4月23日，从海上行动医疗后送至美国后，COVID-19检测呈阳性五角大楼高级官员告诉记者新闻周刊这位服役人员是“通过与中美洲的一个伙伴国家的协调协助从船上撤离的”
一名海军官员证实外国援助新闻周刊并将确认的COVID-19病例的官方统计数字放在了18。但这位五角大楼高级官员表示，“考虑到较小船只的间距限制”，可能会有“更多”——接近30艘这艘船被迫从东太平洋返回港口，尽管海军没有具体说明目的地。
特朗普宣布了美国军舰基德在4月1日的一次新闻发布会上，将这次任务与冠状病毒大流行联系起来。
“我们不能让贩毒集团利用这种流行病来威胁美国人的生命，”他说。
当时，一名政府高级官员为特朗普描述的使命进行了辩护新闻周刊他补充说，毒品交易“可能会导致病毒在不同人群和远距离传播”
然而，其他美国高级官员批评了这项任务，告诉新闻周刊该任务实际上是几个月前制定的，旨在向委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗施压，与阻止冠状病毒的传播毫无关系。
1月25日，作为西奥多·罗斯福航母战斗群的一部分，阿列克·伯克级导弹驱逐舰基德号在太平洋上空穿行。此后，两艘船都受到了新型冠状病毒大流行的重创。
特朗普政府加大了对委内瑞拉及其左翼盟友古巴的经济和政治压力。针对美国在海外的新军事部署，加拉加斯和哈瓦那的官员否认参与了在该地区运送毒品，马杜罗指责这位美国领导人试图转移人们对日益严重的影响国内公共卫生和经济的危机的注意力。
最近一次冠状病毒爆发发生在一个多星期前，一名被检测为COVID-19阳性的美国水手死亡。这名水手被分配到尼米兹级的西奥多·罗斯福号航空母舰上，截至周五，该航空母舰已经遭受了800多起新的冠状病毒疾病，在美国这个世界上受灾最严重的国家，已经有88万人感染了这种疾病。
据报道，这种疾病引起了人们对美国军事准备状态的担忧，美国情报部门2月27日开始追踪这一问题审查的文件新闻周刊。然而，海军一直坚持这一点能够执行其任务在全球范围内努力遏制冠状病毒的传播。
“运送的第一个病人已经在好转，将会自我隔离。美国海军南方司令部/美国第四舰队司令少将·唐·加布里森海军周五在一份新闻声明中说:“我们正在采取一切预防措施，以确保我们能够识别、隔离并防止船上病毒的进一步传播。”。
“我们的医疗队继续与船只协调，我们的重点是每个水手的安全和福祉，”加布里埃尔森补充道。

A NAVY SHIP TRUMP ORDERED TO FIGHT CARTELS EXPLOITING CORONAVIRUS GOT HIT SO HARD BY COVID-19, ANOTHER COUNTRY HAD TO HELP IT
A U.S. warship carrying out President Donald Trump's recently enhanced anti-drug mission he linked to stopping the spread of the novel coronavirus is now suffering a serious outbreak of the disease. Because one sailor required medical attention, another country stepped in to help.
The Navy announced Friday that a sailor aboard the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd "tested positive for COVID-19 after being medically evacuated to the United States from operations at sea, April 23." The senior Pentagon official told Newsweek that this service member was "evacuated from the ship through the assistance of coordination with a partner nation in Central America."
A Navy official confirmed the foreign assistance to Newsweek and placed the official count of confirmed COVID-19 cases on the USS Kidd at 18. But the senior Pentagon official said there were "likely many more"—closer to 30—"given the spacing constraints of a smaller ship." The ship has been forced to return from the Eastern Pacific to port, though the Navy did not specify the destination.
Trump announced the Enhanced Counter-Narcotics Mission that the USS Kidd was conducting on April 1, and during a news conference, linked the mission to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We must not let the drug cartels exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives," he said.
At the time, one senior administration official defended Trump's characterization of the mission to Newsweek, adding that the narcotics trade "can contribute to the spread of the virus among diverse groups of people and across vast distances."
However, other senior U.S. officials criticized the mission, telling Newsweek that the mission had actually been developed months ago and was designed to pressure Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and bore no relation to stopping the spread of coronavirus.
The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Kidd transits the Pacific Ocean, as part of the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group, January 25. Both ships have since been hit hard by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
The Trump administration has intensified economic and political pressure against Venezuela and its leftist-led ally, Cuba. In response to the new U.S. military deployment off their shores, Caracas and Havana officials have denied complicity in moving drugs in the region, with Maduro accusing the U.S. leader of attempting to distract from the growing crisis affecting both public health and the economy at home.
The latest coronavirus outbreak comes just more than a week after a U.S. sailor who tested positive for COVID-19 died. The sailor was assigned to the Nimitz-class USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier, which as of Friday has suffered more than 800 instances of the new coronavirus disease that has infected more than 880,000 people in the United States, the worst-hit nation in the world.
The disease has raised concerns about U.S. military readiness, an issue the U.S. intelligence community began tracking February 27, according to documents reviewed by Newsweek. The Navy, however, has regularly maintained it was capable of carrying out its tasks across the globe as it struggled to curb the spread of the coronavirus among its ranks.
"The first patient transported is already improving and will self-isolate. We are taking every precaution to ensure we identify, isolate, and prevent any further spread onboard the ship," said Navy Rear Admiral Don Gabrielson, head of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. 4th Fleet said Friday in a press statement.
"Our medical team continues coordinating with the ship and our focus is the safety and well-being of every Sailor," Gabrielson added.
This article has been updated to reflect that the USS Kidd's destination was notspecified.
