The administration announced the extension of mask requirements in transportation for an additional two weeks.  The question is why?  Yes Omicron is increasing but is it as deadly as Alpha?  No.  When will the country start to believe in endemics not pandemics?

As a follow-up to the above the administration renewed the Covid emergency for an additional three months.  This is more understandable as it is purely political.  This allows the continued giving of free stuff and not taking things away until the election.

The Governor of Michigan has signed a law shortening the time payers have to determine prior authorization requests before they are automatically considered granted.  The consideration of pre-authorization must be based on clinical evidence established with input from practicing physicians, not just their paid sheep.  The decision must be peer reviewed evidence and those with financials stakes are banned from the decision making.        Top
