The US is still requiring a virus test to enter the US but not proof of vaccination.
We have testing passports but not vaccine passports. Ridiculous.
Vaccination is cheaper, more convenient and more effective.
Vaccination should supersede any test requirement.
Annoyingly illogical, and if you liked those poorly thought out travel restrictions, here are two more.
Crazy that Frito-Lay workers had to go on strike nearly 3 weeks just to win the right not to have to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week
Now they can "only" be forced to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week
Going from 84 hrs a week to 72 hrs sounds like a 19th century labor victory

Better check that Frito-Lay isn't employing 10 year olds to check their cheese puff machines for jams or whatever.
The media was also a few weeks slow in paying attention to the *rise* of Delta. It's basically just like coverage of polling during an election campaign: the narrative is always two weeks behind the actual news.

I’m cautiously optimistic based on the graphs so far.
The private sector dynamics here are fascinating to watch. Acting as a consortium is powerful because no single business is alone in its decision, which can help collectively withstand the harassment that anti-vaccine activists may perpetuate. https://t.co/e3H8i6UmvH

The group action angle is interesting here. Whatever it takes.
Wow these wildfires are causing some atrocious air quality here. Good thing I happen to have a KN95 mask in my pocket from the other global disaster.
