This is especially worrying, now that the US military is barring previously hospitalized COVID survivors from enlisting and not allowing waivers.

That's almost certainly a temporary policy because of the lack of information enacted with the expectation that it will be evolved based on future information, not something that should make the lack of information more worrying.

Given the effects of Covid on the age range of people wanting to join the military this policy seems rather pointless. Very few people will be affected.

For sure in that regard. I'm more curious about why though? Is it because of the unknowns? Or is there a known that's being held back to avoid panic?

Regardless, who knows? I'm just curious to know
