Uh I'm not sure what you are saying here. There are 1.4 million active military in the US. That total is 84 deaths meaning less than 0.006% death rate.

The OP was “ how many sailors...”

I’m not including the contractors, spouses etc. only the sworn military personnel. Only seven service members dead due to covid. 1.43 million active service members.
.00049%

This is not ok, jfc for 8 years we had to hear trump babies cry about "if you want your doctor you keep your doctor"...... now 170,000 plus are dead and millions have no doctor at all... this is NOT OK.

The initial news reports out of China were people were dying. There were early comparisons to the Spanish flu. If you didn’t know you could potentially die from it, I think you were already dead

bottom line - you gaslit dumbf**ks.

On February 11, he promised folks at a campaign rally that COVID “miraculously goes away.” Three days later, he assured Geraldo Rivera that “we only have, basically, 12 cases and most of those people are recovering and some cases fully recovered."

On February 24, he panic-tweeted, “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

Two days later, he told reporters, “When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”

Two days after that, to the delight of his supporters, he was branding COVID as a “new hoax” peddled by the Democrats.

“I wanted always to play it down,” we now know he confessed to Woodward on March 19. “I still like playing it down.”

Oh, so Trump is responsible for five Dem governors LEGALLY MANDATING nursing homes take in people testing positive for covid-19, resulting in those five states having more combined deaths than the rest of the country combined?

Fauci should have given him better specific advice on what to do. Even Biden had to walk back ordering a national mask mandate in the future if he becomes President . The federal govt has limited authority, let alone power/ability to enforce something like that.

So what exactly would you have had Trump do differently? Lock up all the BLM protestors for not socially distancing?

Nice intelligent response👍👍

Ok, just to explain RunawayTrain was being sarcastic. You should look up the word. Trump literally did what Obama's holdover medical advisor said. AS the news came in about the virus he reacted exactly how Fauci told him to.

WHich Vietnam Vet took Dopeys place for his bonespurs?

1,430,000 active military personnel. 7 deaths.
7/1,430,000= 0.0000049
Or 0.00049% the flu is .1%
Interesting numbers
It’s safer to be in the military then a civilian
