Submariners at sea likely shielded from knowledge of coronavirus pandemic

[Disir]

Submariners conducting missions at sea are likely among the last people in the world to be unaware of the coronavirus pandemic turning life upside down back home.

Current and former officers who served aboard France's nuclear-armed subs say mariners aboard ballistic submarines are routinely spared bad news while underwater to encourage undivided focus on their top-secret missions and to avoid undermining their morale.

Honestly, I don't see that this is bad. If you informed everyone about it... other than worry, and fret, and pointless anxiety about people back home.... what can they do?

Nothing.

So what exactly is the down side to them not knowing?

Imagine their surprise when they surface?

Jared Leto was in a quarantine pod and didn't even know it. The Oscar winner emerged from a nearly two-week retreat on Sunday only to learn about the severity of the coronavirus.

Leto revealed on social media he had "no idea what was happening" in the world.

"Wow. 12 days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert," he wrote on Monday. "We were totally isolated. No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility."

Leto said he "walked out... into a very different world."

When you're on ballistic missile patrol crewmen aren't allowed to receive bad news from the outside world.

I was on patrol when a report came in to command that the mother of a missile tech had died. He wasn't told for three months until the boat was almost back in port.
