3. Thanks for this. It's a good explanation of the issues.

Vaccination decreases the likelihood of serious illness, but even with vaccination, people may get sick. Without at least testing the unvaccinated, COVID is much more likely to be spread in the workplace.

The arguments being presented against the vaccination and testing requirements are nonsensical. Rather than worrying about their employees quitting over the mandate, businesses should be worrying about them being out sick for extended periods or even dying because sensible and adequate measures were not implemented.

I still agree with the sentiment of the tweet, though. The reason the two lawyers aren't there is because they are symptomatic or tested positive. Judges should stop to think: what if they were asymptomatic and exposing the entire court, hmm? Sotomayor was smart to attend the sessions remotely.
