Here in Hawaii, we have some of the largest assemblies of people at military bases, in close quarters with one another on a regular almost 24/7 basis.
Crewmen serve on ships docked at Pearl Harbor, while the Army, Air Force & Marine have servicemen living in barracks and eating at large cafeterias as well.
Service members regularly come and go from Hawaii to all points around the world. So it would seem we would want them to have the best possible healthcare, using the latest protocols, based on information and rapid treatment measures provided directly from their doctor:
Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper has urged American military commanders overseas not to make any decisions related to the coronavirus that might surprise the White House or run afoul of President Trump’s messaging on the growing health challenge, American officials said.
Mr. Esper’s directive, delivered last week during a video teleconference call with combatant commanders around the world, is the latest iteration of Mr. Trump’s efforts to manage public fears over the disease, even as it continues to spread around the world.
