- Those not fully vaccinated have good reason to be concerned about omicron
- We have more resources to keep schools open
- If a student tests positive, others can test and stay in the classroom
- Private insurance will cover at-home covid tests starting in January (as rumored)
- Fed gov't will set up emergency testing sites in places that need additional capacity
A report today said a Biden contact and staffer had tested positive but that the President has tested negative. There's a decent chance he gets omicron, given the rapid spread. I don't think the market will be bothered too much by it but he had the odd cough during the speech.
There was nothing surprising in the speech.
