Bonus points for Marty Makary (a surgeon with no particular experience in infectious disease) being the spokesperson for this. I wonder if he’s the only licensed doctor they could find in the government willing to advocate for this policy?

Common sense says “yes”, but I fear we’ve gone far past that lol.
Unfortunately, it appears that you are correct. They released a list of qualifying conditions and while COPD and brochiectasis are on the list, asthma is not.
Edit: I’m kinda braindead right now. Asthma is the first thing on the list. whoops.
Am I reading it wrong, or is Asthma not the first item on the list?
(I hope I’m not reading it wrong lol).
You’re right. My brain is absolute pudding because I’m studying for my board exams. Doing a few hundred multiple choice questions about complex medical topics in a row doesn’t leave a whole lot of processing power left for anything else.
I feel ya. My brain is also running on fumes, so wasn’t 100% confident in my own reading lol.
