If you get a chance, check out my story on the outbreak on the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier (and also The Charles deGaulle French aircraft carrier and the USS Kidd destroyer).

All 3 ships had bad "outbreaks" but, significantly, antibody tests were administered to crew members of each ship. These AB results showed that 41 to 63 percent of crew members had had a prior infection. Only one sailor, 41, allegedly died from Covid.

So in the worst-possible spread environments in a cohort of more than 7,000 sailors, there was just one (maybe) Covid death.

Take-away: Among middle aged and younger (healthy) sailors, Covid posed virtually zero mortality risk. I don't know why the outbreaks on these ships - and the later antibody tests - didn't get more media attention. Then again: I do understand why this was/is the case. These findings didn't fit the requisite fear/deadly virus narrative.
