I mean it's gotta be either 1) there's longterm damage that disqualifies you from military service or 2) you remain an infection risk after recovery, right?

I imagine this is just due to some rule hitting somewhere saying "no COVID positive people, duh" and not at this point having reliable antibody tests or wanting to deal with it they're just enforcing it in the strictest way possible which makes sense in the interim.

that covid criterion is obviously not going to be a permanent thing, given at least two thirds of the population will probably have had it at some point in the future

We've seen both but in ways that are easily identifiable, and the long term infection risk seems to be kind of not as much a thing as we thought, but a permanent ban means there's something about this that NO ONE is talking about lmao

My grandfather grew pole beans in his garden from seeds originally brought over from Italy, and I'm fairly certain my mom still has some seeds from before he passed.

Need to get those beans.

It means nobody knows for sure what long term effects having covid causes or if having it once makes you immune or maybe makes you more vulnerable for a second go around a year later.

Until they know more they're just gonna pass on you.

Hmm could this be a short term treatment for a brand new pandemic disease without a reliable way to confirm immune status?

No it must be a massive conspiracy!!!! Said the people regularly mocking dumbass CHUDs for jumping to sinister conclusions for easily explainable medical-advised cation.

here I dredged up this secret information from the deep state which is definitely secret and not readily available all over the place from any reputable source:

also covid can permanently gently caress up your lungs so they're treating it like asthma or being blind in that disqualifying it takes a big amount of risk out of the pool of applicants duh

if I pay 50 pounds for a roast it better be about 8 pounds of meat, fully cooked and ready to serve and also at an actual restaurant.

I've been filling up the gaps in my freezer with cheap meat this week.

It seems a lot of the abattoirs and packing facilities ramped up production and stores started overstocking fresh meat, but the demand never really came so my local supermarket has shelves filled with marked-down meat.

Also Ireland produces about 8x more agricultural produce than we consume, so I guess limits on exports might have flooded our internal market with cheap produce. I've seen all kinds of local businesses cropping up on social media offering home deliveries of meat packs and fruit/veg deliveries at prices that undercut the supermarkets.

The actual article just says that 2/3 of people lived at home so I don't get how they connect that to saying those people rarely left home, much less defining what 'rarely' meant in this context.

quote:

Hospitals were asked to document where their most recent COVID-19 patients had been staying before admission, Cuomo said, and 66 percent came from their own homes.

About 18 percent came from nursing homes, 4 percent from assisted-living facilities, 2 percent were homeless, 2 percent had been at other "congregate" settings, fewer than 1 percent were prison or jail inmates, and 8 percent were classified as "other."

"This is a surprise," the governor told reporters at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York. "Sixty-six percent of the people were at home, which is shocking to us."

For how many does “staying home” mean “living in an apartment”? And what exactly does “largely staying at home” mean? Are they going to the store? Using elevators? Living with someone who works?

the article points out that an appeal would be denied as there is no criteria for an approval for Covid-19.

The stated concerns are science based, but they hinge on unlikely outcomes. Not sure how well the military runs without minorities but racism could be it I guess.

Those concerns are unknown long term lung function and how the disease processes long term. I.e the inactive covid just becoming active every so often where it just grinds away your lung function.

The lung function thing is super real concern and is why I don't think sports will be coming back until we know a lot more.

Sometimes it feels like Cuomo is just frustrated that people will say he's stupid if he tries to reopen NYC right now and that's the only reason he isn't doing it

Meat packing plant workers here walked out en masse until they got guarantees from their companies that appropriate distancing and protective measures would be put in place. My nephew works in one. He now gets temperature-tested at the start of each shift, and gets issued with fresh PPE. The company has set up those hanging clear plastic dividers between each spot on the production line and reduced shift lengths.
