This is what I posted, “”the military has always been deeply involved in this kind of thing and being able to survive and operate in the face of not only infectious disease, but even weaponized bio agents and carefully planned and delivered threats.

Being able to survive and operate in the face of infectious disease and bio threats is an ongoing concern for the military, they even have field manuals on such things.

Historically, the military has always lost more people to infections than to enemy action. Hence, the military has always been on the forefront of the fight against infectious diseases.

The hospital in Bethesda, Walter Reed, was named after an Army physician who determined that yellow fever is carried by mosquitoes, and instituted mosquito-control measures to protect soldiers from infections.
