US mandates COVID vaccines or tests for big companies by January 4

[IsraelTimes] Tens of millions of Americans who work at companies with 100 or more employees will need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by January 4 or be tested for the virus weekly under new government rules issued today.

They actually issued rules — I’m surprised. Time to crank up the lawsuit machine, boys and girls.

The new requirements will apply to about 84 million workers at medium and large businesses, although it is not clear how many of those employees are unvaccinated.

Somewhere between 10% and 45%, based on national statistics seen thus far.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations will force the companies to require that unvaccinated workers test negative for COVID-19 at least once a week and wear a mask while in the workplace.

Tougher rules will apply to another 17 million people who work in nursing homes, hospitals and other facilities that receive money from Medicare and Medicaid. Those workers will not have an option for testing — they will need to be vaccinated.

Workers will be able to ask for exemptions on medical or religious grounds.

Ask yes, but experience thus far shows that exemptions won’t be granted. Sort of like how pleading innocent by reason of insanity and guilty but insane results in the same prison sentence.

OSHA said companies that fail to comply with the regulations could face penalties of nearly $14,000 per violation.

#8 also, unless a new vicious variant appears we will likely have 30-40% fewer infections/day than we do now

Either a TRO or Biden withdraws the order.

#12 I don't expect this to stand in court and I doubt Biden does too. It will cause some companies, especially in the blue areas, to enforce it before then and more people WILL get vaccinated, which is the whole goal.

#13 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations will force the companies to require that unvaccinated workers test negative for COVID-19 at least once a week and wear a mask while in the workplace.

If it is about health and safety, then one person who has been vaxx'd and still comes down with the covid invalidates this whole procedure.

Medicare, but not the panoply of welfares? Not the Millionaire Border Jumpers?

So Fuck Off.

#17 As long as the electricity and water utilities are running... I started keeping a 4-to-6 week supply of cans and dry beans in the kitchen cupboards when the shortages started hitting last spring. Not Prepper just thinking ahead.

If you don't have 4 weeks of supplies you are further behind an 8 ball than a Biden.

It is suggested, especially you all in the above average risk to boogie, to have 2 weeks of portable food. Stuff you can just open and eat, no prep necessary. MREs are the prime example but if space is a crunch, as it will be in a boogie, allow me to suggest only the MRE main course pouch. 3 or 4 of those will fit into the same volume as a full MRE kit. Not a salesman, just an example, plenty of brands Main Course.

Don't forget water treatment and filtration. If the Biden hits the fan for real, you will need to be able to create potable water.

You've done this drill before with no warning, so no problem. Medicine, sanitary items, alternative ways to boil water so you can use dehydrated foods.

Also, take a moment to go through your squirrel hole and check expiration dates on what you may have gathered back at 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Remember, expiration and best by dates are not the same.
