Anyone else thinking that having hundreds of thousands of troops amass on the border with Ukraine with the pandemic raging in Europe might not be a good idea. The Ukraine rates are increasing as fast as the EU now.

The troops will be living in close quarters in tents, probably in the cold in a field, the toilet facilities are unlikely to get a 5* trip adviser rating either... All this is very virus friendly.

Isn't this reminiscent of the 1918 Spanish Flu - WW1? That outbreak was killing the young as well as the old.

There is also the opportunity for someone nefarious to release a mutant version and blame the victims for it.
