A trainee in his sixth week of basic training died after falling ill on Friday and being taken to Brooke Army Medical Center, the Air Force said in a news release. It was not immediately clear whether the death of the trainee, Keon McDaniel, was related to the flu outbreak.
Barracks and military training are known for being incredibly effective environments for the flu to spread. Having a big chunk of your military get sick at once is a very real problem.


Because he didn’t get enough servicepeople killed in Iran, he’s got to kill more here at home from an easily preventable, highly communicable disease
Based on nothing but conspiracy theories and stupidity
I remember that, the first round of Covid vaccines I received when I was in New York, I received from an Air Force serviceman. And he was so super nice. And he seemed to genuinely happy to be there.
Come to think of it, the second round of Covid vaccinations I received from Air Force servicepeople, too.
Sigh…
