Airman Becomes first U.S. Military Servicemember Infected with Coronavirus on Okinawa

It will be interesting to see how much of a grip the coronavirus gets in a tropical location like Okinawa:

An airman from the 18th Medical Group at Kadena Air Base on Okinawa screens a driver for coronavirus in this undated photo posted to the base’s official Facebook page Thursday, March 26, 2020.

The 18th Wing has confirmed its first case of coronavirus, according to a message posted Saturday on Kadena Air Base’s official Facebook page.

“The member is active duty Air Force and has been in restriction of movement status for 15 days since returning from overseas travel,” the message said.

“18th Wing leadership and medical teams are tracking this situation very closely and have determined the only close contacts to be immediate family members who are also in restriction of movement status.“

Looking more and more this was a planned operation by Communist China.

Sure, maybe China is conspiring to bring down the world and take it over by deliberately spreading the disease. But Trump didn’t help America because he was too incompetent to stop China from doing that.

Trump stopped travel to and from the hotzone weeks before the WHO and CDC recommendations. They criticized him then and called it racist. Now they are criticizing him for not acting sooner. Fortunately everything they write is still there for perusal.

Exactly, Liz. And they’d accuse him of unnatural acts if he, personally, cured all disease…

Meanwhile, Joey Fingers can’t even read the answers to questions in an interview…
