Also, how should we weight the validity of the data, given the political leadership issues surrounding this situation.

  The data is valid, at least to the extent that the tests are accurate (there will be some false results). The Navy has openly published their numbers. If they didn't want us to know they would simply classify everything as a matter of operational readiness instead of lying. https://navylive.dodlive.mil/2020/03/15/u-s-navy-covid-19-updates/ https://navylive.dodlive.mil/2020/03/15/u-s-navy-covid-19-up...

    >they would simply classify everything as a matter of operational readiness instead of lying // Do you think, it seems that not releasing data would be a clear sign they're hiding something - given the public nature of the situation - releasing distorted figures is very difficult to find as you'd need to take a census of sailors ... which the navy/politicians would simply not allow. And the people involved themselves mightn't even notice if the figures were just massaged. Appreciate your citation and input.
