How Does COVID-19 Spread in Office Buildings?

In the Yahoo article "How Does COVID-19 Spread in Office Buildings?", it goes over a new report by Camfil Air Filtration Canada which stresses how important it is to protect against air carrying very small droplets and aerosol particles that contain the infectious virus. Aerosol particles can travel for long distances and usually stay in the air longer than bigger droplets. Aerosol particles can be transported even further and can be dispersed into different rooms in office buildings that use circulated air in their ventilation systems. 

I highly recommend you check out the article for yourself for even more detailed information.

Italy: COVID-19 Health Passes Mandatory For All Workers

In the article, "Italy Is Making COVID-19 Health Passes Mandatory For All Workers" by Jonathan Franklin and Sylvia Poggioli of NPR News, it goes over how Italy is the first European country to enforce COVID-19 health passes for its workers. Failure to have a health pass showing that you're vaccinated results in suspension but does not result in being fired. America has mandates for nearly 2/3rds of all employees but not a full on country wide mandate. Italy's high COVID-19 death numbers caused this big decision. Here is the article link below, I recommend to give it more of a look.

Refusing the vaccine for work

This week I'm going over a New York Times article by Sarah Maslin Nir titled "Their Jobs Made Them Get Vaccinated. They Refused." Hundreds of thousands of New York workers just now got the vaccine as their jobs demanded it. There are still plenty of workers that refuse to comply. Misinformation, fear, and doubt has caused many refusers to remain stubborn. Ignorance will always exists and those who refuse will just have to accept the repercussions. The good news is that the mandates have led to a very high percentage of vaccinated in areas where it is implemented. I recommend you check out all the interesting excuses refusers have put forth for not getting the vaccine. Their Jobs Made Them Get Vaccinated. They Refused. - The New York Times (nytimes.com) Would you be willing to risk the safety of your co-workers in order to not get a shot? Or better yet... Would you be willing to give up your livelihood in order to not get a shot?

COVID-19's affect on women's workforce progress

This week I want to discuss a CAP article titled, "How COVID-19 Sent Women’s Workforce Progress Backward" by authors Julie Kashen, Sarah Jane Glynn, and Amanda Novello. In the article it discusses COVID-19's blow to the child care sector that was already failing to support all families. Without change, millions will continue to be affected, and the United States will not be able to achieve continued economic growth nor protect and advance gender equity. Child care taking a hit due to the pandemic has caused women to take off work time to take care of their children leading to all this. There are policies that need to be put in place to better set up the future of America.  I think it is a very interesting topic that should be brought up. Check out the full article for yourself.
