US Military Bans Off Base Dining for Troops on Okinawa

An increase in coronavirus cases on Okinawa has led to a ban on off base dining again:

The Marine Corps and Air Force ordered an indefinite end Monday to indoor dining at off-base restaurants on Okinawa, citing an increase in coronavirus cases on the island and at their respective installations.

Since March 5, the Marines have seen “a steady rise in COVID-19 cases both on and off-base,” Marine Corps Installations Pacific announced in a Facebook post. “Due to this result, the [health protection condition] measures were re-evaluated and changed for the health and safety of everyone on island.”

Scamdemic continues

“Dining.”

I would love to see the science that shows ANYONE caught it from going to a restaurant.

As opposed to the Okinawa version of The Ville. And no, I don’t mean the places they’d go and invite their clergyman to tag along.

I am not against the base commander trying to keep his job in the current leadership situation; but frankly, I expected more from a Marine.

Those who utter “sound bites” such as “scamdemic” and “plandemic” are evidently immune already to something: logic & science.

Good thinking, johnhenry! Keep your tinfoil hat… er… mask firmly in place. It will protect you!
