Even a Military-Enforced Quarantine Can’t Stop the Virus, Study Reveals

 Even a Military-Enforced Quarantine Can’t Stop the Virus, Study Reveals

Excerpt: The reputation of Marine basic training is that it is tough going but this really does take it to another level. All respect for those who volunteered for this! Also, this is an environment where those in charge do not mess around. There was surely close to 100% compliance, as compared with, for example, a typical college campus. What were the results? Incredibly, 2% of the CHARM recruits still contracted the virus, even if all but one remained asymptomatic. “Our study showed that in a group of predominantly young male military recruits, approximately 2% became positive for SARS-CoV-2, as determined by qPCR assay, during a 2-week, strictly enforced quarantine.” And how does this compare to the control group that was not subjected to the strict regime? [You’ve got to read this article based on a study published days ago in the New England Journal of Medicine for yourself. If I simply tell you, you won’t believe it. Ron P.]
