and so i m worried that there s gonna be a lot of people and some of situations that will be exposed and may expose others for myself personally i m young i m healthy i ve been triple-vaccinated. my personal risk isn t high. but the rest other a my eye might infect or to my kids maybe. and that s for the personal at the family arrests now for the more important i think legal precedent. once you not a public health decision, you had a legal decision that overrode the decisions of a public health authority in the middle of a pandemic. and i m not just worried about what that means right now today for flights in the next few days. and for the uptick in cases. i m worried about what that means for the future when we respond to pandemics. when we have further pathogens that threaten us here in the u.s.. we already had dozens of states implement measures to limit public health authority, now you have a single judge in one state who has overrode a decision by the central public health decis
that masks work and we know that having them in what is even the decision that needs to be made here. what is the cdc even looking at? we know that right now ba.2, that s a variant, is spreading. we ve seen it in new york and we know that is causing an uptick in cases nationally. we need to better understand what that means. not only for local outbreaks, for bigger outbreaks in places like new york city in another big cities where they ve seen a lot of virus and a lot of vaccination. it has led to a dramatic uptick in hospitalizations frankly and i don t see a lot of covid patients in the er right now, we re not emitting a lot but that s not going to be true for every place in the country. so these decisions might seem really difficult and hard to kind of untangle even two years in. but the fact is, we are one country with many different subpopulations vaccination exposure immunocompromised states etc. that s what makes this so difficult. and that s also why it s important people hav

that the cdc assesses and scientific terms that it continued mask mandate, continued mass reform of our transit actually is in the public health interest. and so there effectively, the justice department is effectively saying that they re going to follow the science. that if the cdc still thinks this type of rule should be in effect. then they will appeal the ruling in order to try to reassert the cdc s authority to make those decisions. it still does feel a little precarious in terms of the standing of the cdc to pass these rules in the future. i mean i understand with geo jay s suffering to them but that presidential issue we re talking about israel here. absolutely and also quite frankly it s a very confusing point in the pandemic for many people. if you are young and you ve been vaccinated, you may think that your personal risk is low. and you may say, well we know that masks work and we know that having them in what is even the decision that needs to be made here. what is the
