The Military's Secret to Fighting COVID-19: Discounting reserve units, the National Guard, and civilian contractors, the U.S. military has approximately 1.3 million active duty members in the Army, Navy, Air Force, and the Marines. Of that lofty number, only one active member of the United States armed forces has died of COVID-19.
The six other deaths were among the reservists and the Guard, all military personnel who spend most of their times as civilians. Of those who died, only one man, an Army reservist, was under the age of 40. You’ll find that report at the Military Times.
This same article reports that the Pentagon found 38,500 cases of coronavirus among military personnel.
Allow me to repeat myself: our active military forces of 1.3 million people count one death from the coronavirus.
What might we gather from that mind-boggling statistic?
