100 US Sailors aboard aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt hit by coronavirus

The US Navy has announced that almost 100 sailors aboard aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt have been hit by coronavirus outbreak to quarantine in Guam hotels, where it is presently harboured. 

Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly said Wednesday that 93 sailors from the ship have tested positive for the virus to date, representing more than 10% of all cases across the entire US military.

However, the ship will not be evacuated in its entirety due to the need to continue to perform essential tasks such as the operation of the aircraft carrier's nuclear reactor.

UK suffers record-breaking 563 coronavirus deaths in 24 hours

UK is bracing itself for the worst as it suffered record-breaking 563 coronavirus deaths and 4,324 cases in 24 hours. This takes total number of victims to 2,352 with almost 30,000 Britons known to be infected.

Britain now has almost three times as many dead patients on account of coronavirus as Germany despite only half as many positive tests. It may be added that UK's coronavirus death toll has soared by 1,124 in just 3 days - from 1,228 on Sunday to 2,352 on Wednesday. 

The youngest victim today was a 13-year-old, believed to be Ismail Mohamed Abdul Wahab from Brixton, London, whose tragic death came to light last night after he died at King's College Hospital on Monday. The oldest patient included in today's update was 99 years old.

The true size of the outbreak remains a mystery because of the UK's controversial policy to only test patients in hospital - and not the tens of thousands of Britons with milder symptoms who are recovering at at home.

Imposing Headlines: Pakistan shoots down two Indian Aircraft

Pakistan confirmed on Wednesday 27 February 2019 that it had carried out air strikes in Kashmir and shot down two Indian jets in its own airspace, capturing one of the pilots as the conflict with its nuclear-armed neighbour continued to escalate.

The Pakistan military said Indian jets had entered Pakistan in response and two had been shot down, with one pilot captured. The surprise move came a day after Indian jets intruded into Pakistani airspace and claimed to have attacked a militant camp.

Tensions have dramatically escalated between the nuclear-armed rivals since Indian warplanes flew into Pakistani airspace and struck what New Delhi said was a camp of Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the group that claimed the Kashmir bombing.

The Foreign Office in a statement said: “Pakistan Air Force undertook strikes across Line of Control from within Pakistani airspace. This was not a retaliation to continued Indian belligerence. Pakistan has therefore, taken strikes at non military target, avoiding human loss and collateral damage.”
