Worthy of conservable?

Look, I didn’t FAIL to discuss the issue. As I posted, anytime you shove a bunch of recruits from different areas of the country into a basic training barracks you create a situation ripe for disease spread. Over 15% of people are asymptomatic strep carriers:

From 10 to 35% of people are asymptomatic carriers for neisseria meningitidis, the causative agent for meningitis.

same goes for adenoviruses and other organisms.

While most people have been exposed to and are immune to the strains from their own geographical regions when you shove a bunch of people from different regions with different strains together frequently all h€|| breaks lose, which is why about the first thing that happens in basic training is that the trainees get immunizations for a lot of things that the general public neither gets nor needs.

it is not in the least unreasonable that the military take action to bar people who might be asymptomatic carriers until the details of coronavirus infection in the US population are fully worked out, and depending on those details, even until a vaccine is available.
