The link shows 14 total military deaths. I found the news stories for all 14 (you can do it yourself if you have 30 minutes). No one under 30 in the military has died from this. Let that sink in. And most of the deaths have been reservists over 50.

And don't let them tell you "but our protocols stopped us from getting it". Military positivity rate is pretty close to the general population.

This is a fucking joke. If you are young and healthy enough to join the military (not an extremely high bar), Covid is at worst a bad fucking cold.

I’d be curious to know what those numbers were for Flu in the previous years

If you're under 30 (and really under 50), a night of heavy drinking at the local commissary is more dangerous than Covid.

In fact, taking a vigorous shit is more dangerous than Covid.

0/1,300,000 (<30)

14/1,500,000 (>30)

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

Where did you find the under thirty data?

I actually went and found the news stories for all of the servicemen/women who died and wrote down their ages.

Some dude corrected me in another thread - a 26 year old died about a week ago.

So it's 1/1,300,000 not 0/1,300,000
