Is ripping through community, and having those incredibly high case numbers, is a less severe variant. so for people that are vaccinated, and boosted, the fact is that when and if you get omicron, it feels more like a cold than a severe infection that is likely to put you in the icu. if youre unvaccinated, it is much more likely to be a severe infection. so knowing that you are carrying a germ, and that that germ in some people can be very severe, its a tough one to do. are you going to go out o...

Senators, that would be senator joe manchin and kyrsten sinema killed his dreams of abolishing the filibuster and now they fake voting rights bill and the rest of the biden agenda is dead in the water. today the hhs reported a record high 157,000 covid hospitalizations. mr. -- i will shut down the virus has some explaining to do. if you want answers you have to track them from somewhere in delaware, spending another long weekend not working away from the white house. before he left joe biden cou...

Coronavirus vaccine. thats so important, because we cant keep, you know, sort of dealing with variant after variant after variant, and the universal vaccine would work on all of them, theyve been trying to do that for flu for many, many years, and that hasnt happened. hopefully it could happen with coronavirus. and also, kate, what were expecting now is for the senators to grill hhs, the department of health and human services, and the fda, about why we are experiencing a shortage of home tests ...

This is as though the thing that is sparking or flaming is the human being who is coughing particles into the air. its exactly the same, the workplace is dangerous. but the much larger project here, and i think you went into this in our initial question, is to do away with the administrative state, to do away with the regular story state that enabled agencies to create laws quickly and this is part of a much larger project to dismantle the epa, to dismantle hhs, to dismantle osha, all under this...

Employers, but theres another one from cms targeting workers at health care facilities that receive federal funding. can you explain why these two mandates are being treated differently here? >> well, it comes down to legislative power. the congress was given under article one of the constitution the power to make laws. over 100 years congress has created statutes that basically hand off that power to what we call federal agencies. so weve got two handoffs of what i call -- tell my students is a...

Got covid and are you in a high-risk group where are the monoclonal antibodies. they bought 600,000 courses yesterday of this. 600,000 is not what we need. we need a lot more than that. even that 600,000 is not coming any time soon. >> harris: doctor, i clearly understand you. you cannot stop the spread of omicron but you can save a whole lot of lives. and so if the goal is to save lives and we know we dont have enough testing yet. the contracts werent signed with the warehouses that were housin...

Workers in several states, teachers in new york, for example. but those involved a very different issue of state power to impose these kinds of public health measures. those are all reserved to the states by the constitution. the federal government has no standalone such powers known as police powers. so the question in these two cases is whether specific federal laws that govern osha and that govern hhs allow the government to do that. and as we hear, katy, the supreme court has reached a sort ...

Should be put on hold while cases challenging them worked their way through the lower courts. so thats the outcome that we have. no on the osha requirements, yes on the hhs requirements. >> so no if you are working in a business with more than 100 employees, no, you do not have to get vaccinated or go through with this testing policy unless your individual company requires it, but no federal rules on that. >> yes. >> yes if you are a health care facility that gets federal funding, medicaid and m...

Supreme court will do on the second one, the health requirement that would cover about 17 million workers. the court may be more willing to allow that one to go into effect nationwide. its blocked in about half the states now. and theres a big difference here. theres an entirely different regime of statutes. justice elena kagan said today, certainly the one thing hhs can say to people who employ health care workers is, youre not allowed to kill your patients. and there is also a strange legal as...
