Masks Off: Officials Reevaluating Mandates for Indoor Mask Use by Leandra Bernstein Monday, May 10Th 2021
Masks off: Officials reevaluating mandates for indoor mask use by Leandra Bernstein Monday, May 10th 2021 WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) — Leading public health figures suggested over the weekend that it was time to reevaluate requirements for wearing masks indoors as COVID-19 cases continue to decline and more than half of all American adults have received at least one dose of a vaccine. On CBS's "Face the Nation" Sunday, former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration Dr. Scott Gottlieb, encouraged jurisdictions with low rates of infection to begin relaxing mask mandates. "I think we're at the point in time when we can start lifting these ordinances in a wholesale fashion," he said, noting that half the states in the country are seeing daily infections at just 10 per 100,000 and almost a quarter have infection rates of 5 in 100,000. The former FDA chief advocated lifting restrictions on outdoor gatherings entirely and eliminating other required mitigation measures under certain criteria. "The states where prevalence is low, vaccination rates are high, and we have good testing in place—we're identifying infections—I think we could start lifting these restrictions indoors as well, on a broad basis," he said. It's possible that mask ordinances may have to be reimplemented if there are outbreaks or if there is a decline in immunity, Gottlieb advised. "But that's a long ways off. We'll worry about that in the fall and the winter," he said. "We're at the point right now where we could start lifting these ordinances and allowing people to resume normal activity." Asked about Dr.

Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America
Issue No. 3, Summer 2021 Enterprise Report Restoring Liberty, Opportunity, and Enterprise in America AEI, Reopening By Robert Doar The hot summer is here in Washington and with it, at long last, a return to the way our building on Massachusetts Avenue should always be. Scholars and public officials are gathering for meals and meetings. Students are assembling for classes conducted by the best public intellectuals in America. The halls are alive with talk of how we can advance the promise of the United States with policies that promote individual freedom, family, faith, and the benefits of work and free and open markets. Like many of you, throughout much of the past year, AEI scholars and staff became experts in Zoom and found new ways to stay connected with our wider community. For the most part, some members of AEI’s senior team and I were at our desks here in the D’Aniello Building, but it was a pretty empty space. Thankfully, our scholars, research assistants, and business and outreach teams working remotely continued to lead the most important debates facing our nation. Some of the great work our scholars produced during this unprecedented time includes Scott Gottlieb’s bipartisan leadership on our pandemic response (including his 66 consecutive appearances on Face the Nation); Michael R. Strain’s crucial role in designing and implementing the Paycheck Protection Program, which helped save millions of jobs; Frederick M. Hess’ launch of the Conservative Education Reform Network, which is planting the intellectual seeds for meaningful reform in school systems nationwide; Kori Schake’s revitalization of the AEI defense team, including the creation of the Defense Futures Simulator and the addition of a leading national security scholar, Klon Kitchen; and Yuval Levin, Matthew Continetti, and Adam J.

ACP Letter to Senate Leaders Highlighting Support for Sections
June 2, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Charles Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell and Minority Leader Schumer: On behalf of the American College of Physicians (ACP), I am writing to urge the Senate to consider additional legislation to respond to the economic devastation and public health care crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Unless the Senate acts soon, the ability of our nation’s internal medicine physicians to provide continuous and comprehensive health care to adults including elderly patients at most risk to infection from COVID-19 remains at risk. Several weeks ago, ACP submitted a letter to Senate leaders that provided our recommendations for the Senate to act on legislation to address this crisis. Many of these policies were included in H.R. 6800, the HEROES Act that was passed by the House. We urge the Senate to adopt these policies included in the HEROES Act which include: Additional emergency funding to help struggling physician practices keep their doors open by partially offsetting revenue losses and increased expenses relative to COVID- 19; Improvements in the Medicare Accelerated and Advance Payment Program; Support for the COVID-19 response workforce by expediting visas for international medical graduates (IMGs) to enter the U.S. for training and patient care, permanently authorizing the Conrad 30 Program, and providing a pathway for IMGs and their families already in the U.S to obtain permanent residency status; Expansion of coverage and increases federal funding for Medicaid; and Funding for the infrastructure and health system capacity needed to rapidly expand testing and contact-tracing, thereby enabling economic, social and medical care activities to gradually resume on a prioritized basis while mitigating transmission and deaths from COVID-19.

While the tests have produced fewer shocks in recent years than in the period when they were initiated after the 2008 financial meltdown, next week’s results could see drama as the first to be calculated while a real crisis is raging. • Days before hosting a massive rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, President Trump said in a Wall Street Journal interview that some people at the rally this Saturday may catch coronavirus, but added “it’s a very small percentage.” o The President's words come as Oklahoma is seeing a steady increase in its average of new confirmed cases per day. • The US Food and Drug Administration sent warning letters to three companies selling Covid-19 tests that the FDA says were “inappropriately” marketed and “potentially placing public health at risk.” o This is the first time the agency says it has sent warning letters to companies for marketing adulterated or misbranded test kits.

Framework for Conditional Sailing Order
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES (HHS) CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION (CDC) ORDER UNDER SECTIONS 361 & 365 OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ACT (42 U.S.C. 264, 268) AND 42 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 70 (INTERSTATE) AND PART 71 (FOREIGN): FRAMEWORK FOR CONDITIONAL SAILING AND INITIAL PHASE COVID-19 TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTION OF CREW Executive Summary The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces this framework for a phased resumption of cruise ship passenger operations. Considering the continued spread of COVID-19 worldwide and increased risk of COVID-19 on cruise ships, a careful approach is needed to safely resume cruise ship passenger operations. CDC is establishing requirements to mitigate the COVID-19 risk to passengers and crew, prevent the further spread of COVID-19 from cruise ships into U.S. communities, and protect public health and safety. After expiration of CDC’s No Sail Order (NSO) on October 31, 2020, CDC will take a phased approach to resuming cruise ship passenger operations in U.S. waters. The initial phases will consist of testing and additional safeguards for crew members. CDC will ensure cruise ship operators have adequate health and safety protections for crew 1 members while these cruise ship operators build the laboratory capacity needed to test future passengers. Subsequent phases will include simulated voyages to test cruise ship operators’ ability to mitigate COVID-19 risk, certification for ships that meet specific requirements, and a phased return to cruise ship passenger voyages in a manner that mitigates COVID-19 risk among passengers, crew members, and U.S.

How Chicago Economics Helped End a Pandemic by Casey B. Mulligan February 2021
How Chicago Economics Helped End a Pandemic By Casey B. Mulligan February 2021 Covid-19 has disrupted much of human life, but Operation Warp Speed has drastically mitigated the costs of the virus. The $10 billion federal program launched in April 2020 encouraged and accelerated the development and mass manufacturing of COVID-19 vaccines, streamlined Federal approval for vaccines and their manufacture, and provided Federal funds for private vaccine research and advance- purchase orders. COVID-19 vaccines are currently being administered to the general public at least six months earlier than expected. Vaccinating the population against COVID-19 six months earlier was worth about $1.8 trillion to the U.S. alone in terms of lives saved and accelerating the return to normal schooling, work, socializing, etc. (Mulligan and Philipson 2020). Operation Warp Speed is a historic milestone for economic research on medical innovation that occurred over decades on the University of Chicago campus. Chicago’s research results, traditions, and emphasis were brought to the federal government in 2017 by several of its faculty and alumni. In the three years before COVID-19 came to the United States, that economic team showed the President of the United States how federal policy reforms were delivering real value to consumers by encouraging innovation in healthcare industries. Also before the pandemic, the team prepared and published a blueprint for vaccine innovation during a pandemic that would become the intellectual foundation for Operation Warp Speed. This document tells the story of the program’s University of Chicago origins. The document traces the economics of the program back to underlying UChicago economic principles on regulation generally and health economics specifically, following the contents of a recent video conversation I had with University of Chicago colleagues Kevin M.
