In a stunning reversal, the Navy has upheld the firing of the aircraft carrier captain who urged faster action to protect his crew from a coronavirus outbreak, the Navy’s top officer said Friday.

Adm. Mike Gilday, the chief of naval operations, also extended the blame for the ship’s pandemic crisis, delaying the promotion of the one-star admiral who was also onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt — concluding that both men made serious errors in judgment. Less than two months ago, Gilday had recommended that Capt. Brett E. Crozier be restored to command of the Roosevelt.

The COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating, with more than 150,000 new cases of COVID-19 reported to World Health Organization on Thursday – “the most in a single day so far,” the WHO’s chief, Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus said today in Geneva.
