Starting Nov. 1, Delta [airlines] employees who have not received the vaccine will have to pay an additional $200 per month to remain on the company’s health plan. It is part of a series of requirements that unvaccinated workers will face in the months to come, the airline’s chief executive, Ed Bastian, said in a memo to staff.

“We’ve always known that vaccinations are the most effective tool to keep our people safe and healthy in the face of this global health crisis,” he said. “That’s why we’re taking additional, robust actions to increase our vaccination rate.”

As of today we have Covid running rampant through our facilities. The majority are vaccinated and it's running hard in that group.

We never should have let our guard down because what I'm seeing now is much worse than in the peak of this pandemic.

Sorry to hear that. I hope there aren't many people getting really sick. Berkeley lets its guard down for about 3 weeks in July but then reinstated mask mandates for indoors. They did it even though vaccines are mandated for anyone working on campus and for students.
