Coronavirus survivors banned from joining the military..,Permanently?

[White 6]

Strange, but so indicative of how little is known about Covid-19. Quite understandable, not taking people currently testing positive, taking into account how quickly a virus of this nature could and would run through a basic training base, but upon returning 28 days later after a diagnosis to be be marked as “permanently disqualifying” for accession?

Coronavirus survivors banned from joining the military

A past COVID-19 diagnosis is a no-go for processing, according to a recently released MEPCOM memo circulating on Twitter.

“During the medical history interview or examination, a history of COVID-19, confirmed by either a laboratory test or a clinician diagnosis, is permanently disqualifying ...” the memo reads.

The memo is authentic, Pentagon spokeswoman Jessica Maxwell confirmed to Military Times.
Specifically, it lays out guidelines for MEPS staff to deal with potential, as well as confirmed, coronavirus cases. That starts with screening at all MEPS, which includes taking a temperature and answering questions about symptoms and potential contact.

If an applicant fails screening, according to the memo, they won’t be tested, but they can return in 14 days if they’re symptom-free. Anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 will have to wait until 28 days after diagnosis to report to MEPS.
Upon return, a diagnosis will be marked as “permanently disqualifying” for accession. Recruits can apply for waivers for all permanently disqualifying conditions, including surviving COVID-19. However, without any further guidance for exceptions dealing with COVID-19, a review authority would have no justification to grant a waiver.

I read a report from the Medical community that physicians are seeing young survivors run into trouble with strokes, some of which are deadly, and others that are caused by uncontrollable clotting. As patriotic as they might be, Covid-19 survivors could be untreatable if bruised or wounded by gunfire, not to mention becoming Typhoid Mary's at some future point in time to other soldiers. Basic Training could also bring about their demise because it is a rough-and-tumble physical grind out in the training field. As unfair as it sounds, if what the physicians are telling us, disqualifying them from battle is the right thing to do, and as bad as it is, I am saddened by this finding.

Agree. Long term medical cost to DoD could become staggering also. If you are injured due to a preexisting condition that was wavered to join, the military becomes liable. Doubt if this will be be lifted anytime soon until a lot more is definitively know for the good of all involved. I do not know how drastically it will effect recruitment number, the upper teen age group does not seem nearly as at risk for catching as the 20 and up. Do not know why the kids are less likely, but thank god for it.

What physicians are reporting about youngsters who had the Coronavirus, their prospects are currently limited due to the damage the virus does to the body--clotting, stroke, and failure to thrive issues this modern plague elicits.

Yuk. With deference (to an extent) to those anit-Vac people on here. I hope they get a vaccine figured out soon, though know it is probably over a year out.

Anything to weaken the nation. To democrats this is a scorched earth fight.

The military is apolitical. You sound like a nutcase.....matter of fact you are.

She's a Poe.....pretends to be extreme.

Why?

"Why?"?

Here's why.

These guys are from Fort Riley Kansas. Where the so-called "Spanish" Flu originated. That's why.

More US military personnel died in WWI from that pandemic than from combat. That's why.
Because those who ignore their own history are condemned to repeat it. That's why.

Your comparing COVID-19 to the Spanish Flu ? You are dumb as a bag of hammers.

Jeepers Wally, I dunno what I was thinking there, why an infectious pandemic actually recorded in history as having broken out in a crowded army barracks that was then sent to Europe where it killed millions there and hundreds of thousands here, how could that POSSIBLY be in any way related to that same army having learned its lesson from a century earlier about how viruses spread, what a random thought out of left field THAT was. Huh.

There appears to be no fathometer yet capable of measuring the depth of the River Denial.

The Spanish Flu started in Europe or China not the US.

Where's your evidence that it started in Europe or China. Ironically, I read that it was called the Spanish Flu because wartime censorship rules prevented news reports from any country that was in the fight....leaving neutral Spain.

It's a NWO trick to scary peoples and to force them to the deadly 'vaccine'

Don't take it. Maybe you can live with the herd immunity of the rest of us, that would prefer not to take the chances, as we would like to grow up and live without the threat, avoiding known problems to individuals and society.

Why?

I think these are just precautionary measures. Probably they will last until the Covid 19 vaccine will be ready
