This wasn t VE Day, a long, uncertain battle ending with the unconditional surrender of a foe.
But it sure felt good. After so much darkness, a bright light wasn t just on the horizon anymore. I think it actually is the day we have been waiting for, the day we feel good and safe gathering indoors, said Patrick Remington, a former epidemiologist for the CDC. The pendulum has really swung back, added Remington, who directs the preventive medicine residency program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Now the benefits of gathering in person for fully vaccinated people clearly outweigh the risks.

MADISON - The leader of the state Assembly earlier this year rejected an immunocompromised lawmaker s request to work virtually on the basis that COVID-19 could not be transmitted through the air, despite guidance from epidemiologists and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saying otherwise.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, and the Legislature s human resources director, Amanda Jorgenson, have rejected requests from Rep. Jodi Emerson, D-Eau Claire, to participate in floor sessions and committee hearings from her office.
The requests were made by Emerson and her doctor to reduce Emerson s risk of contracting the virus until she became fully vaccinated because of a medication she takes to suppress her immune system to manage an autoimmune disease Emerson was diagnosed with years ago.
