What is this communist bullshit!?!
:america:
Nebraska will do it.
After a copy of the initial memo instructing recruit processing stations not to allow anyone to enlist if they'd had COVID-19 appeared on Twitter, officials first said only those who'd been hospitalized with the illness would be banned. That policy has also been reversed, Donovan said.
Every patient's experience is different, he added. One person with COVID-19 might need to be hospitalized for overnight observation, while another has to use a ventilator for weeks.
It will be up to physicians assessing potential recruits, Donovan said, to determine any long-term effects the illness might have caused.
Doctors studying the effects COVID-19 has on the body have warned that it leaves some people's hearts, lungs and other organs permanently damaged, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Those types of conditions could disqualify someone if doctors find they're unable to complete the mission, said Jonathan Hoffman, a Pentagon spokesman.
"The COVID-positive test in and of itself will not harm them," he said. "But like any other disease, underlying damage or illness or harm that results from that would have to be examined by a physician."
The military will continue turning away anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 at a processing station or who's exhibiting coronavirus symptoms, Donovan said.
Go Army!
Nebraska will do it.
