From CNN:

… the former vice president said there had been 6,114 “military Covid deaths” and 118,984 “military Covid [infections].”

Facts First: This is wrong — and not just by a little. Biden overstated the number of military Covid deaths by 6,107 and infections by nearly 79,000. There have been seven deaths in the military due to Covid-19 and 40,026 cases as of September 9, according to the Defense Department.


So the Case Fatality Rate among US military personnel has been about 1 out of 6000.

The military has mandatory retirement ages and rules against being too fat, so personnel are much less likely to be old, fat, or sickly.

lol... RIP for those that died, but 0.016%. Are we fucking joking given how they live and interact? Remember that this is the rate of people that even get Covid in the military and then die. The odds in the general public of testing positive are roughly 2% for the general population and then you'd still have to die, which in the military is a 0.016% chance once you have it.

~1.3M active duty military. 0.00053% have died. Yes they're healthier than the general public. But many live in close quarters on ships and barracks. That percentage is the random dude having a heart attack in basic training. It statistically doesn't matter. This is our virus to shut everything down.....
