Cal/OSHA, which regulates workplace safety, passed new rules allowing vaccinated workers to stop wearing a mask at work, but unvaccinated workers will be required to wear them indoors.

Physical distancing will no longer be required, unless a workplace has a major outbreak of 20 cases or more.

The rules also require employers to verify the vaccination status of workers before allowing them to work mask-less, but employees will be allowed to simply “self-attest” that they are vaccinated.

So if you are 60 years or older, get vaccinated, and if you are 40 years or younger, enjoy being young. If you are between 40 and 60 years old, ask your doctor. 

Just a thought.

Cash Cow...

 

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday the NCAA can’t limit education-related benefits — like computers and paid internships — that colleges can offer their sports stars, a victory for athletes that could help open the door to further easing in the decades-old fight over paying student-athletes.

Schools recruiting top athletes could now offer tens of thousands of dollars in education-related benefits that also include study-abroad programs and graduate scholarships. However, the case doesn’t decide whether students can simply be paid salaries for the benefits their efforts bring — measured in tens of millions for many universities.

The high court agreed with a lower court’s determination that NCAA limits on the education-related benefits that colleges can offer athletes who play Division I basketball and football violate antitrust laws.

Are they taking advantage of the young people? You'll be the judge.

 Just a thought.

 We are going in circles and the truth is missing from it all.  Just a thought.

Phase...

 

With daily COVID cases falling New York State will begin shutting down the mass-vaccination centers that were a key part of its inoculation effort.

It will mark the first phase in the state's effort to wind down its large-scale vaccination sites and focus more on pop-up clinics across the state.

New York is currently running more than 20 vaccination sites across the state, of which at least a dozen have been large-scale facilities meant to administer hundreds or even thousands of shots a day.

But some of those sites have been seeing a very small number of people seeking shots in recent days and weeks as demand for a shot appears to dwindle.

So it started terribly for the elderly who couldn't get an appointment to get vaccinated and in a couple of months the State is shutting it all down.  Just a thought.
