Despite a recent win by the state of Florida in a federal appeals court, the cruise industry has indicated unanimously that it will voluntarily comply with CDC requirements for Covid safety.

My wife wants me to do more around the house. I'm spending too much time on DU. Rats.

I've mentioned it on a few other threads. NYC had a truly elegant solution to the Covid. Not a mandate, but if you can't show a card you get mandatory masks and weekly testing. Basically we will try to turn your life into shit. Someone said that France makes you pay for that kind of testing.
Of course the city unions are making noises. NYC unions are legendary. I remember the last time there was a municipal strike a union leader went to jail, not over employee issues, but to defend the rights of the unborn, who will one day inherit these jobs with incredible benefits. Now that is a tough bargaining position!

Owing to a little debate I was having on another thread I am beginning to check out whether colleges and universities are requiring returning students to be vaccinated for the fall. I started with my own Little Ivy League school and then it's two almost as good rivals. Then some of the state universities in New England. Now I'm onto the Big Ten. They all seem to be mandating. It can be done!

For teachers and healthcare workers.

The demand for vaccine mandates is growing!
