In the community in Florida many people are infected by the
chronic illness hypertension is a common disease cholesterol,
fatigues, and stress. Patients are major risks cardiovascular,
stokes, and leading causes of death, respectively in the

Hypertension very often had no signs or symptoms. Once the

Nationwide, 16% adults are unaware that they have it, 23% are

The obvious health issue that affects my community, as well as
so many others, is Covid-19. The disease came in like a
wildfire, burning down everything in its path. Being a service
member who is stationed at Fort Benning, Ga. I have seen first-
hand, the effects of the pandemic within my community. At the
beginning of April, Ft Benning began taking action to prevent
the spread of Covid-19. At that time the military installation
had no confirmed cases. Columbus, Ga however, had not yet
started testing for the virus. The installation was responding to
Georgia’s shelter in place orders as well as the possibility of a
confirmed case of a dependent who did not live on post. Service
members residing on post had a curfew and several other travel
limitations.
Before the current pandemic, coronaviruses were seen causing
the diseases severe acute respiratory syndrome or SARS and
Middle East respiratory syndrome or MERS. This strain of the
virus is now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 or SARS-CoV-2. Research and experience with
the other strains of Coronavirus have helped with gauging the
people most at risk to the disease. Similar to influenza,
immune-compromised, and persons with prior medical
conditions are more at risk for having the disease. Having prior
data on other diseases that spread as rapidly as this one has
helped the health care field react appropriately to the pandemic.
This country did however experience hardship due to limited
medical supplies such as PPE and ventilators. The CDC’s
guidelines for social distancing has helped businesses minimize
exposure and spread of the disease.
As the world deals with the disease, data is collected and

5. disseminated through news outlets, medical facilities, the World
Health Organization, and the CDC. The process of collecting
live data has allowed health officials to find common symptoms
along with some uncommon symptoms. We also now know that
many positive cases are asymptomatic. The asymptomatic cases
may be the cause of the vast spread of the disease. Here on Ft
Benning, one Basic Training unit recently had 142 positive
cases most of whom were asymptomatic. The positive cases
were found after the second round of testing of over 600
students. Ft. Benning has been trying to minimize exposure by
having a travel ban and quarantining incoming personnel for
certain schools. I believe that most training should have been
halted which may have prevented the recent cases. Ft. Benning
is known for the many schools here on post such as Airborne
and Ranger school (my unit), Air Assault, and various Basic
training/ AIT units. All schools continued training during this
pandemic, just with alterations. I have heard the same from
other service members at different installations. I truly believe
that my community could have handled this situation better.
