Why would you only report 1 fact, when there were 5 or 10 more facts to put this event into context?
Why do you think the Navy has photos of people put into their jackets. At a time when HR departments have taken photos off of resumes for decades in not 1/2 a century or more to prevent discrimination?
In my unit I can think of 5 people who are obese, not merely overfat, but obese. One morbidly so. If they are obese, might they be diabetic or pre-diabetic?
If you are middle aged, have hypertension, are pre-diabetic don't get a lot of sun below decks (hello Vitamin D), and you catch a bug and then you die, is that a surprise?
Let's no mention binge drinking in port. What do the AA meetings look like?
I've had classmates, new college grads, drop dead of heart conditions that they did not know they had. They were not exercising at the time and they were not overweight at all.
So a person drops dead. We know one fact and one fact only. No context.
By the numbers 1 out of every 400 infected will not survive, considering the average age and health conditions of the crew.
1:57,
I am not sure what point you were trying to make or to bludgeon the public with.
1) 1 out of 400 computes to a .25% death rate.
2) We do not know if the sailor or airman had a preexisting condition. I would not expect them to be obese or diabetic, but they may be an older sailor and have hypertension. I would not expect them to be obese, but I would expect the rate to be at least .04% obesity among the sailors. There will be sailors that cannot get though a manhole of a watertight door, when a modified condition zebra is set due to obesity. Which means they they sleep at their workcenter.
3) We do not know, if they died with or because of COVID 19. We do not know, if this sailor was an alcoholic or had an STD.
