A friend and I were having a tangentially related conversation about net-healthy processes that could theoretically be mandated during a pandemic and their effects on the populace at large.
Putting everyone on a daily fitness regimen would almost certainly save lives, even outside of our current pandemic. Likewise, if things got bad enough that grocery stores had to close and the national guard / army / gov were called in to deliver daily rations to households, I wonder what kind of effect that'd have on the country's obesity problem long-term, also.
Ignoring the completely dystopic dictatorship and near-apocalyptic context that'd be required for such a scenario, of course.

i'm afraid the fatality rate caused by basic training, i.e. elderly and severe diabetes/hypertension/etc., may happen to be pretty close to the covid.
Btw, i think the aircraft carrier commander is an outstanding and exceptional guy - he put the lives of his sailors above his career.
