Pentagon is considering barring recruits from joining the military if they have been hospitalized by the coronavirus unless the person is granted a waiver from the branch they are trying to join, according to reports from CNN and Fox News.

A defense official told CNN that the guidance is being put into place because there is little understanding about the long-term effects of the new virus.

Holy Hell!
