Aircraft carriers, along with all other Navy ships, are a prime breeding ground for this. You have up to 200 people in one berthing area, sleeping only feet away from each other. Everyone shares a limited number of showers, toilets, and excercise facilities. On my carrier back in 2007, we had an outbreak of sickness from contaminated potable water tanks. It basically crippled the ship for over a week - over half of the ship ended up getting sick (puking, diarrhea, fever). It got to the point where if you were scheduled to stand watch but you were sick, you still had to stand watch because anyone that could've replaced you was also sick. I was shitting and puking into the same bucket while standing watch in the engine room at one point. Good times.

I'm glad that some insurance companies are waiving copays and whatnot for coronavirus, but if you don't have insurance in the first place because you lost your job, then you are kind of shit out of luck. I'm sure (and hope) that this pandemic will accelerate the timeline for universal healthcare - whether that means a public option or single payer.

Prediction: Trump will continue to fuck up the coronavirus response, 200,000 Americans will die because of it. Trump, Sanders, and Biden will catch the virus - Sanders and Biden will die from it, but somehow Trump survives and becomes stronger. Trump wins by default in November. Oh and RBG gets down with the sickness as well. Sorry!
