On an aircraft carrier they sleep 100 people per room in bunks stacked 3 high with 30 inches of height per person.
Flu / measles / covid would rip through that environment like a wildfire.
Covid did that on one of the aircraft carriers, so bad that the CO defied orders to not deboard his sailors, and got fired for it. He probably saved hundreds of lives.
Those two statements should not go together and I hate that they do.
True, but I prefer them to make that learning with a bunch of young, healthy men with healthcare instead of old people. I mean, if they are even able to learn something.
They are literally unlearning what we already know (I assume it's mostly for propaganda reasons, but maybe I'm giving them too much evil credits on the evil-vs-dumb scale).
They seem to need a refresher from time to time.
A lot of people also don’t realize there’s different kinds of flu that the flu shot covers. If you influenza B or C you might feel a bit cruddy and pass that along but be mostly ok over all. If you get influenza A or some other baddie novel version be prepared to be knocked on your ass for days with a fever over 100 feeling like death and infecting anyone in a 30 yard radius. I got flu A once and that’s enough to know I never want to do that again, 103 fever for days and it broke like 12 hours before my doctor said I would need to go to the hospital if it didn’t come down. It’s scary shit
My experience of a bad flu was that firstbI felt bad, then I started worrying I was gonna die, and finally to worrying I was not going to die just had to live like that.
I was also coughing up leftover shit for like 2 months after getting over it.
