They are now saying they are both asymptomatic.
The AF#! air handlers bring up a quandary.
Why are there only 8 deaths in the US military?
Given the fact that the military eats in Mess Halls, Travels in bulk transport, sleeps in bunkhouses (nowadays many 4 per room?, and community outhouses) and still less than a dozen deaths.
Based on the CDC death rate for 20-50 YO's of 00.3%, given 1.500,000 service members, the death toll should be around 4500, not EIGHT(8)

Having been a data analyst on this COVID issue since pretty much the beginning and ingesting as much data as I could until we hit the infodemic phase of this year's entertainment, the short answer is this:
The most likely indicator of mortality is already having a life-threatening disease or otherwise already being unhealthy (obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, etc.)
If you are young and healthy your chance of dying is low. Having access to doctors lowers it further.
For the military this disease is about as threatening as the flu. For the general obese population the issue is not only the comorbidities but the extreme ease with which so many of these people have been vectors to other high-risk populations.
