Virus Outbreak France Submarines
FILE – In this July 12, 2019 file photo, French navy commander Axel Roch poses in the navigation and operations center in the new nuclear-powered submarine “Suffren” in Cherbourg, north-western France. Stealthily cruising the ocean deeps, deliberately hiding from the world now in turmoil, the crews of nuclear-armed submarines may be among the last pockets of people anywhere who are still blissfully unaware of how the coronavirus pandemic is turning life upside down. The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people, but for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.
