A Year Later - Continuing the Pandemic Eradication at NMRTC Bremerton
By Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer – It spread like the common cold, caught many unaware, and sparked global suffering.

The influenza illness of 1918 resulted in over 50 million deaths world-wide, including approximately 675,000 in the U.S., with countless others sickened.

Fast forward to today where the ongoing viral pandemic outbreak continues to approach the previous deadly contagion in fatalities, with currently more than 400,000 deaths in the U.S., innumerable illness, and continual global concerns. Multiple city, county and federal agencies continue to work to protect, prevent and preclude citizens from getting infected by COVID-19.

During its onset last year, the novel coronavirus was closely monitored by federal government lead agencies such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Department of Defense (DoD) healthcare professionals closely followed their lead, including those assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Center (NMRTC) Bremerton.

“This virus was followed very closely by the CDC and other public health officials. The concern was how contagious it was with human to human transmission,” said Dr. Dan Frederick, Navy Medicine Readiness Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton population health officer and public health emergency officer (PHEO) who was monitoring the rapid-moving contagion.

Frederick and other command public health officers became increasingly aware of the all-encompassing need to coordinate and communicate with interagency and municipal partners to help stop the spread of the virus, especially when one of the earliest confirmed COVID-19 cases in the U.S. was in the greater Puget Sound region.
