Worth reading from the New England Journal of Medicine - a clean data set, and a story that initially had a lot of traction...: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2019375
The crew was predominantly young (mean age, 27 years) and was in general good health, meeting U.S. Navy standards for sea duty. Over the course of the outbreak, 1271 crew members (26.6% of the crew) tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection by rRT-PCR testing, and more than 1000 infections were identified within 5 weeks after the first laboratory-confirmed infection. An additional 60 crew members had suspected Covid-19 (i.e., illness that met Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists clinical criteria for Covid-19 without a positive test result). Among the crew members with laboratory-confirmed infection, 76.9% (978 of 1271) had no symptoms at the time that they tested positive and 55.0% had symptoms develop at any time during the clinical course. Among the 1331 crew members with suspected or confirmed Covid-19, 23 (1.7%) were hospitalized, 4 (0.3%) received intensive care, and 1 died (see below). Crew members who worked in confined spaces appeared more likely to become infected.
CONCLUSIONS
SARS-CoV-2 spread quickly among the crew of the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt. Transmission was facilitated by close-quarters conditions and by asymptomatic and presymptomatic infected crew members. Nearly half of those who tested positive for the virus never had symptoms.
"Measured temperature readings showed that 2.8% of the crew members who had Covid-19 had a recorded temperature of 100.0°F or above, as compared with 0.3% of the crew members who did not have Covid-19. "
"Although cases of serious illness occur in younger persons, they are less frequent and typically less severe than those in older persons.9,11 In the case of the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt, few crew members were hospitalized. Certain coexisting conditions, such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, are associated with higher mortality.12-14 In our findings, we noted a number of coexisting conditions among hospitalized crew members, including uncomplicated, mild, and medically managed asthma, lung disease (e.g., bronchitis), hypertension, and liver disease–related conditions."
Interestingly, it has been noted that ONE sailor, a Petty Officer in his 40s died. However, according to sources, the Petty Officer was tested multiple times for COVID and was negative. The Navy referred to his death as a 'medical emergency'.
More than 1,000 sailors aboard the Roosevelt became infected with COVID-19 following the port visit to Vietnam and Navy Chief Petty Officer Justin Calderone, a crewman aboard the carrier, died following a medical emergency believed linked to the virus.

- It's not clear what the nature of Calderone's medical emergency was. Though the ship had nearly 1,300 embarked sailors test positive for COVID-19 in the Navy's largest outbreak earlier this year, officials said Calderone had been tested multiple times and was consistently negative for the disease (https://www.military.com/daily-news...rd-deployed-carrier-roosevelt-identified.html)
- "The U.S. Navy has identified a sailor assigned to the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt who died Thursday (2 July 2020) “following a medical emergency” aboard the ship." https://www.navytimes.com/news/your...s-theodore-roosevelt-chief-who-died-thursday/
- 3rd Fleet statements on his death have noted that “Calderone had been tested for COVID-19 multiple times during the outbreak of the virus aboard the ship earlier this year and those results were consistently negative for COVID-19 throughout the entire deployment.”

CDC approved USS Theodore Roosevelt’s port visit to Vietnam, says top Navy admiral
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on the original plan that sent a US Navy aircraft carrier to Vietnam for a port visit that later resulted in a coronavirus outbreak aboard the ship, the Navy’s top admiral in the Pacific said.
