    Think they need to speed up this booster stuff ASAP. In the last week 4 family friends that were fully vaccinated and healthy people have been hospitalized with COVID.

    Trump and other past presidents have done similar things.

    The time to b**** about it was when the shoe was on the other foot and reduce these kinds of powers...not flood the zone with senseless decrees and hope some slip by judicial review, then pretend you're "doing work".

    since they can both spread the virus, why are only the unvaccinated required to get tested?

    one lesson from the pandemic is that the time limit on executive "emergency powers" needs to be codified in law

    Have any COVID restrictions ever been enacted by a legislature, or has it all been by executive decree?

    So this is what "owning the libs (conservatives)" feels like. I get why they're so addicted.

    In all seriousness, this likely gets thrown out, no?

    I would like to see the USSC rule on whether people should get vaccinated. At this point the trump justices have shown they care little about the health of people, but seeing another opportunity to cause more Americans to die would remind people why (1) increasing the size of the court is reasonable if not necessary and (2) why America cannot survive another republican President.

    What is the OSHA mission if not to ensure safe and healthful working conditions for workers by setting and enforcing standards?

    Unvaccinated gets infected 5 times more than vaccinated, and once infected, carries more transmissible virus for a longer period. Thus unvaccinated is a much greater threat of spread.

    All of the restrictions to date have a time limit or become nullify of themselves once the "emergency" is over. If you codify into law some predefined limit, you are hoping that legislators can think of every possible future emergency. That's not possible and the risk of that is you tie the hand of the executive to protect society from some future unknown emergency circumstances.

    We already have a pretty robust judicial system to limit emergencies power.

    Many things covids are by executive decree. See all the executive decrees to limits locals and businesses from mandating vaccination or masking.

    I love Top Gun and I have a very important opinion on this matter. These 2 things qualify me as a pilot.
