The Royal Navy’s flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth has a major outbreak of the ChiCom Flu.
The BBC has been told there have been around 100 cases on the aircraft carrier, which is part way through a world tour. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said all crew on the deployment had received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine and the outbreak was being managed. A spokeswoman said mitigation measured on board included masks, social distancing and a track and trace system.
Standard crew size is 1600, so that’s 1 in 16 people. Who are young, fit, 100% double vaxed, with military discipline enforcing hygiene rules. How does that translate into the rest of society? Or the long term care homes this fall and winter when the seasonal pressure kicks in again?
