Reply to comment by sctvlxpt in Russia may need to send a rescue mission to the International Space Station for 3 astronauts after a leak in their Soyuz capsule by A_Lazko

I was thinking about the next resupply event. This is assuming the wait time doesn't kill the astronauts.

Resupply with a crew dragon packed with cargo instead of people? It doesn't have that much less cargo capacity, right?

Why would the wait time kill the cosmonauts?

Prolonged time in micro-gravity have brought about health problems like that Canadian astronaut who suffered from temporary blindness and one of the Kelly twins had problems to walk again. Although both fully??? recovered from their experience, it wouldn't surprise me that it could be fatal.

They are nowhere near the maximum amount of time a person has spent in space. They're not in any life-threatening danger at this point.
