  Military coronavirus rates growing at twice the rates as nationwide average

  This is an article explaining how the military is experiencing higher rates of coronavirus than the general public.The article claims it is due to more people getting tested when in reality it is due to precautions not being taken seriously.My husband's whole platoon was exposed to the coronavirus and they just quarantined those who expressed a desire to get a test and wouldn't let them get an actual test because it would "expose the people taking a test" they even tried to force a soldier without coronavirus to room with a soldier who had tested positive for it.

  military cases of Covid-19 increase

  This is a news article speculating why the military members are having an increase in positive coronavirus tests.What they leaving out is although masks are required for businesses they are not necessarily being followed by soldiers working and the same for social distancing and hand washing. My husband is in the military and tells me they were the masks when possible but most soldiers find them inconvenient and remove them whenever possible.Also social distancing is not practical for their work as they sometimes have to be in close quarters to complete their work.This in addition field events,airborne jumps, and other major projects that place many soldiers in close proximity together is probably the cause of the increased cases.
