That's 'HIPAA'. That law says government and corporate institutions cannot disclose your medical information without your consent. It says nothing about somebody asking about your health info. Anyone can always ask; and while you can refuse, they have the right under federal and state laws to keep you out if you do.
Pls excuse NYC for being very careful but our hospitals, morgues, cemeteries, funeral homes were strained beyond capacity. We lost thousands in this city. Many a business went under. It was a veritable hell on earth here and we can't go back to those days.
