– All personnel assigned to MCIEAST, II MEF, and MARSOC (active-duty, civilian personnel, dependents, retirees) are encouraged to follow CDC guidance regarding the virus.
– NMCCL is working closely with medical providers across MCIEAST, II MEF, MARSOC, Navy and Marine Corps Public Health, and the CDC to ensure all appropriate measures are taken to prevent potential spread.
– Anyone contracting a respiratory illness should not assume its COVID-19. In fact, the flu is far more commonplace. Please ensure your flu vaccination is current.
– Any beneficiaries who have traveled to China in the past 14 days with fever, cough, or difficulty breathing should seek medical care right away. Call NMCCL prior to arrival or let medical staff know immediately upon check-in if you have traveled to China recently.

Best Prevention Methods:
• Appropriately wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
• Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
• Avoid close contact with those are sick
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces”

UNITED STATES: The Latest Atmospheric River (aka Pineapple Express) to Bring Flooding, Landslides

The U.S. Air Force hurricane hunters have been flying through the Pineapple Express (one of the famous ‘atmospheric rivers’ that brings warm humid air to North America during Winter): “There is no off season for us, after the Hurricane season is done we roll into the Winter Storm season and part of that is providing support for atmospheric rivers off the West Coast. ARs [atmospheric river] are flowing columns of water vapor that produce vast amounts of precipitation when they make landfall. The heavy amounts of precipitation can turn into extreme rainfall and snow, which then can cause flooding and mudslides.”-Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Rickert, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron
