Military Bans COVID Survivors From Service
But, but, but.... what about muh herd immunity?
Homosexuals. Check. Those with strong immune systems. GTFO.
The dismantling and weakening of our military continues.

It seems that someone leaked the memo?

Nimrod, I cited Military Times and it's not fake news, you're fake news. COVID-19 is an exercise. I think COVID-20 is when the real biowarfare attack and subsequent nuclear attack occurs, at least Fauci's hinted at that when he says, "There could be another wave of COVID."

More name calling from the paint chip eater? You did cite the Military Times and promptly misinterpreted what they said. COVID survivors are not banned from serving. People who were hospitalized due to COVID are.
As for your "COVID19 was an exercise" delusions
LOL

If you click the link I gave and read the headline, that's what I cited. Hey, if I eat paint chips, you're the dip.
As for COVID-19 being an exercise, that's what some in the Trump admin have said at press conferences. Do your research.

People who have been hospitalized for covid 19 ARE covid survivors if they are still alive.

Semantics.
In context, apparently DoD differentiates between the two.

I can see the military doing that and it sounds completely reasonable for the reason you stated. The military doesn't want to end up 10 years down the line not only sucking up the medical bill, but a lifetime retirement check as well. Sounds like good business to me.
Besides, this is hardly an Earth-shattering, first medical DQ. It needs to get in line behind all the other reasons.

Exactly Gunny, this is really no different than for example DQing people who have a history of heart disease.

I don't know what they qualifications are now but back in the day (damn that sounds old), asthma would DQ you. Flat feet. An assortment of injuries; especially, to joints that required surgery. HIV would do it. Being married
The US government doesn't want to pay to fix you with no guarantee you'll be worth the fix. Especially given the benefits associated with service-related injuries. If they accept you, it is automatically a service related injury unless they can prove fraudulent enlistment.
This would be taking a chance at the unknown or possible residual effects.

A heart murmur-even one that wasn't a problem, kept plenty of kids out of Nam. Not sure what else.I don't know what they qualifications are now but back in the day (damn that sounds old), asthma would DQ you. Flat feet.
