My hunch is they did, but you missed it. For example, this is in the confirmation email from American Airlines in July of 2021
A face covering is required while flying on American, except for children under 2 years old. You are also required to wear a face covering while in the airport before and after your flight. Read more about travel requirements.
Ya sure, I have to click on a link but it wasnât much to realize we needed tests. Maybe I was just more aware of the testing requirements at the time because we were still in a time before we had Conquered COVIDâ˘. But first thing I did when we landed and were getting our stuff in the hotel in Athens was to figure out which exact test I needed and where I could get it done. It really sucks for your situation though because Easter in Italy is probably going to fuck up even the best laid plans.
Vermont reporting its highest Monday number since January.
Hospitalizations are soaring too.
Cases climbing in Ontario as well, and thatâs before a likely bump from a long weekend of gathering and travel. The only question now is if vaccinations keep the overall death / hospitalization count relatively low.
Well there it is
Not surprising since the pandemic is over, but air travel does have the fun extra ability to take a bunch of people, sit them in each others laps for hours, and then immediately disperse them across the globe.
But yeah, itâs a wrap. The right to get gravely ill has been restored, praise be to jeebus.

The travel mask mandate is scheduled to end in a week.
Where are you guys tracking hospitalizations? Iâve just been using the Google/NYT data for cases and deaths, I google the state name and coronavirus and then click on the Statistics tab. But it doesnât have hospitalizations.
For Vermont, the state is reporting it every weekday.

May 3rd, with the possibility of being extended (they have been extending it bit by bit for a long time).
But the imporant thing isnât whether the mask mandate is in effect for the next 14 days. Itâs that the CDC wouldnât have the ability to put it back in place again.
In case anyone is wondering, Justice Mizelle was appointed by Trump on November 20, 2020 to a US District Court at the wisened age of 33. Her alma mater is Covenant College.
lol Democrats for not fighting back against this shit in any meaningful way
Theyâre fighting back in exactly the way to recommended: using majoritarian rules to do good things, in this case appoint good judges.
Theyâre not out there trying to appoint 33 year olds, theyâre not out there trying to remind everyone how messed up her appointment was, theyâre not trying to call her legitimacy into question.
So youâre saying theyâre not writing enough strongly worded letters?
Iâm saying start nominating some 25 year olds, call some impeachment votes of judges, rip the media a new one and call them the biased conservative media for normalizing this shit, etc.

i donât know, that seems less like a strategy and more of just tilting in response to someone else cheating. not that iâm a huge believer in legitimacy of the current court, but making it illegitimate without a replacement is yet another huge cliff to authoritarianism.
I mean, they should be trying very hard to pack the court. Theyâre engaging in the wrong side of asymmetrical warfare. If you appoint 50 year old judges to lifetime appointments and they appoint 30 year old judges to lifetime appointments, itâs easy to see how that one games out. Yours get replaced almost twice as often as theirs, which means itâs twice as likely your appointments eventually run into GOP replacements than vice versa.
Just like the proper response to gerrymandering is more gerrymandering on your side. Tit for tat until theyâre willing to disengage and ban the practice.

Looked into the ânot qualifiedâ and it comes from this American Bar Association letter.
The nominee was admitted to practice law in Florida on September 27, 2012. This represents a rather marked departure from the 12 year minimum. A nomineeâs limited experience may be offset by the breadth and depth of the nomineeâs experience over the course of her or his career. Nominees with fewer than 12 years but with substantial trial or courtroom experience and/or compensating accomplishments in the field of law, can be and have been foundqualified by our Committee.
Since her admission to the bar Ms. Mizelle has not tried a case, civil or criminal, as lead or co-counsel. Of her four distinguished federal clerkships, one clerkship was in the trial court. That year, plus her 10 months at a reputable law firm and approximately three years in government practice translates into 5 years of experience in the trial courts. We have taken into account the nomineeâs experience in federal grand jury proceedings, which are non-adversarial and do not take place before a judge. In each instance those proceedings resulted in the defendantâs agreement to a plea of guilty with no trial. We also are aware that as a law school student the nominee participated as co-counsel with her supervising law professor in two one-day state court trials as part of her curriculum.
Finally got my first booster this morning. Nurse recommended Phizer based on my reaction to the first two shots and gave me 5 antigen home tests for free. Sore arm and extreme fatigue hit me within an hour for those and Iâm feeling absolutely no symptoms ~3 hours after the boost.
