Isn't Amazon testing warehouse employees for COVID-19 whenever they enter their premises?

Nevertheless, unless Amazon treats their employees like utter crap, showing any symptom of COVID-19 would be grounds to just let them go on sick leave no questions asked. Instead, the newspiece states that the manager of the deceased was making him run laps.

Sure, but with the new Delta Plus® variant (+ false-negative tests + asymptomatic transmission) it's better to play it safe & keep your distance from other human resources.

> S.V. Subramanian, the Harvard professor of population health and geography behind the paper [Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States], says the vaccine doubters are completely wrong.

> “That conclusion is misleading and inaccurate,” Subramanian told me of Horowitz’s Blaze column over email. “This paper supports vaccination as an important strategy for reducing infection and transmission, along with hand-washing, mask-wearing, and physical distancing.”

> Centner called COVID-19 vaccines "experimental," despite the fact that they have been under development for decades

Attenuated vaccines have been under development for centuries. Do they even need trials?

NPR accordingly and responsibly titled it "might not be", yes.

Not sure if it’s reasonable. My gut interpretation (before reading the article) was “breakthrough infections are overblown”.

I prefer their alternative headline “What the latest COVID research says about breakthrough cases and transmission”
