| 2021-10-15 |
| [MilitaryTimes] Another six troops succumbed to COVID-19 this week, continuing a trend that began in August and has continued into the fall. Where last year, most months saw one or two deaths, since late July, there have been multiple deaths a week. Now totaling 58, the military’s COVID-19 mortality rate has held steady at 0.02 percent, 50 times what it was for most of 2020. At the same time, facing deadlines for mandatory vaccination, the services are slowly marching toward 100-percent vaccination. |
