I have to imagine flu would spread like wildfire under the close quarters conditions soldiers, sailors, and marines have to have under many circumstances.
It would. Historically, disease has been a huge problem for militaries. That's why they give you like a dozen vaccines on day one.
Can confirm. It feels like it was eleven.
This approach is how the Spanish flu spread worldwide. US troops took it from Kansas to Europe and then 50 million people died. But I wouldn’t expect Kegbreath to know any history.
As is tradition. The Spanish flu was the American flu.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu
and theres evidence that spanish one had h5n1 in its ancestry, it was a mixture of 4 different flu viruses which used pigs as a mixing vessel.
Ah, beat me to it. Yeah, the Spanish Flu, one of the most deadly pandemics in human history, was initially spread through US military bases. It's literally one of the reasons why we make sure soldiers are vaccinated.
they were also kept close to domesticated pigs which are the worst things to be in the vicinity when theres flus goes around. since pigs can be infected with multiple flus and act as mixing vessels more easily than humans.
With full healthy meals im sure they will have the immune system required.
TB also spreads quite easily under close quarters, only matter of time since there isnt a vaccine in the usa, and tb is quite naturally resistant to antibiotics. They likely wont even reccomend COVID vaccination too.
