How many are sick?

ETA: Nm, read the article. None required hospitalization and very only a few showed symptoms.

There should be a requirement that with every report of number of positive tests the report must also state how many were symptomatic.

The covid Mortality rate for Active and Reserve US Military has been .02% which is lower the the military mortality rate for the 2009 swine flu which was .08%.

But that was not an election year.

Well....you can eat what you catch and kill. But you sure as hell aren’t given food.

If you’re spending a lot of time making elaborate traps, etc you’re wasting precious time IMO

It’s much more like you take a pause and look over and see a blackberry or an onion in the ground.

I see your profile says you’re a pilot. You fly hawks for the guard?

Damn.

Figure their immune systems are beat up already from starvation and sleep deprivation.

They gave us a live rabbit in AF SERE. The instructor made some bunny hugging girl kill it.

Yeah they did the same for us in the Army also. A bunny and a chicken. They found the most granola eating person there and forced them to kill it.

Sounds like a trend. Surprisingly this girl didn’t actually make much of a fuss when it actually came time to kill it.

Running around the woods playing hide and seek trying not to get captured is.

Getting “caught”, locked in a cage, and slapped around for a few days is not.
