I think delegating it to the states is the right call. It’s just kind of funny to watch all the people who furiously asserted it was a federal issue in 2020 scramble to relabel it a local issue in 2021/22.

Given where things are in DC  and the limits on executive power, not much else he can do right now. Especially if the Supreme Court limits OSHA's ETS powers. He's really stuck if OSHA gets its wings clipped.

It should be federally planned and locally implemented, but for now that is like trying to herd cats.

There is no real constitutional foundation until we decide the right to healthcare is hidden in the bill of rights.

I am just glad Roberts figured out the ACA is a tax.

Things were so much better when non-group policies did not cover preexisting conditions, would not cover someone if anyone in the household was pregnant or planning to get pregnant, women still paid more, and lifetime benefits were capped at 1 million.

I get that trolling is a necessary device in driving clicks, but you don't even have this site monetized?

The FDA approves boosters for 12-15 year olds.
The FDA advisory board was bypassed in the process.
The FDA advisory board has had reservations concerning boosters previously. 2 members resigned.
The FDA approved an Alzheimer's drug this past summer without discussion from its advisors. 3 members resigned.

The CDC advisory board will, imo, most likely approve the boosters, and Walensky will most likely, imo,  give them her blessing within minutes.

Nothing to see here 🙄What’s the point of an advisory board if you just bypass it all the time?! It’s very telling when it’s bypassed and members resign afterwards…

The COVID is closing in.

Secretary tested positive yesterday and I was standing next to her on Thursday at the fax machine. (Why she came in when her kids were sick, and later all tested positive, is beyond me.) I'll go get a test tomorrow as it will have been 5 days since contact.

As predicted, the PassiveSon's friends he was with on NYE are one by one testing positive. At least he has taken to wearing a mask around the house when he pops upstairs to go in the kitchen.
Are you and the family still alive ?
Everybody ok ? Symptomatic, or asymptomatic ?

Thanks for asking! Rapid test from shady pop up testing place came back negative this AM. Have to wait for the other test. PassiveWoman has been concerned as she has a busy few weeks at work. PassiveSon is caughing all the time in the basement. AggressiveSon seems fine. Dog and bird seem good.

The best way to attack COVID is to gut the ACA and have the insurance companies declare that having had COVID is a pre-existing condition they can deny coverage for all sorts of ailments because of

Monoclonal antibodies have been approved for over a year.
Antiviral pills have been approved. They were apparently available in Texas and New York last week.
Minnesota has had zero promotion of monoclonals, and the Minnesota Dept of Health will give an update on the pills when they get around to having meetings to discuss distribution and equity.

Monoclonals can keep people out of the hospitals. Where have they been, and where are they ?
Where are the pills ? They should have shipped day 1.
Where are tests ?

By the time you stand in line a day for a PCR test and wait 3 days for a result, it's too late for Monoclonals
That's the killer strategy by DeSantis, tout the monoclonals but then deny availability by screwing up testing
