So how are they protecting our Military serving around the world.

We quarantined folks on military bases, which I think should not be done as why risk exposing our troops with it and somewhere on this site someone posted about a son phoning home from Afghanistan saying troops were sick. Who doesn’t think this is going to end well.

Bless our troops and keep them well!

Of any units they know about.

They would be really helpful to concerned strangers and people who want to kill them.

even more at risk. What specifically? I don't know. I'm inferring from his prior performance -- making problems worse rather than better is standard procedure for Trump. It would be strange indeed if he accidentally happened to do differently this one time, in this one aspect. We know for certain he has made the coronavirus problem worse in the US; I expect he has done likewise for our service-people.

They get trained for biological warfare. They have the equipment and know how assuming Trump does not interfere and fucks it up.
