(CNN)The US military reported a record high number of coronavirus cases on Tuesday with 1,314 new cases, according to Defense Department statistics.
There are currently about 25,000 active Covid-19 cases in the ranks, and another 44,390 service members have recovered from the virus, according to the Pentagon.
The number of military cases has grown over the last few weeks as case counts have increased in the general population.
A US defense official told CNN that the US military has a positivity rate of 6.8%. That compares to about 10% among civilians taking coronavirus tests.
The military has claimed since the beginning of the pandemic that it can maintain a lower positivity rate because the military has a younger, healthier population. It also can also more easily mandate restrictions than civilian authorities.

The oppressed masses of America are clamoring for help and will offer all support.
Launch the strike!
Out of control? 70 civilians dead?
Have you seen some civilian employees? They are big enough that they have to be weighed with a truck scale!
Until they anonymize, but give underlying information such as obesity and other factors 10 deaths is pretty much a Ministry of Truth talking point.
I have seen obese warrants, senior NCO'S and O5's. I have also hear form close family of national guard doing their run for their physical at o'dark thirty, because it is as fair and honest as a Philadelphia vote counting center.
"Did you run around the track 5 times or 6?"
"Oh it was 6 times"
How can you tell in the dark or do you want to?
What about the long term impact the Wuhan virus might have on reproductive organs? One study suggested a 75% sperm count drop in some patients..
Not saying I give credibility to that new study, but if there's credence to it, it would be the equivalent of an extermination event
