From Dorian de Wind at The Moderate Voice:
The U.S. Navy has been especially hit hard, with coronavirus cases on more than two dozen Navy battleships. Most strikingly, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt has been sidelined for more than a month, with the number of coronavirus cases now exceeding 1,000.
Fortunately, our nation is not engaged in any major military combat action nor is it facing any direct and imminent major military threat.
Such was not the case during World War I when the apocalyptic Spanish Influenza or “Spanish Flu” broke out.
The Spanish Flu, unrelated to Spain, broke out in the United States in March 1918 as the Great War was raging in Europe.
