Post Covid-19 Recovery “Is A Disability”

The U.S. Government reports that individuals who have “recovered” from Covid-19 do not have a physical disability under federal disability discrimination laws. However, this conclusion is not accurate, and you need to know why.

In an Article on November 18, 2022, I reported that 60% of the U.S. population, 191 million people, have a disability called either Long Haul Covid-19 or “Recovered” from Covid-19. The following information will support this legal and medical conclusion and how businesses, insurance carriers and the federal government do not want to acknowledge it. A new study covering 5 million Americans also supports the conclusion that Covid-19 resides in the body post-infection and can lead to substantially increased risks of further medical consequences upon reinfection.
