Reporter Asks White House “How Come Migrants Are Allowed To Come In Unvaccinated, But World-class Tennis Players Are Not?”:

“Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane, you say that’s not okay. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they’re allowed to stay?”:

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy made another salient point Monday when he asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to explain why unvaccinated migrants are walking into the country every day, but tennis star Novak Djokovic has been denied energy to compete in the U.S. Open.

Doocy asked Jean-Pierre “How come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated, but world-class tennis players are not?”

Of course Jean-Pierre had no answer as usual, stating that “The U.S. government cannot discuss the details of individual visa cases.”

She added that “Due to privacy reasons, the U.S. also does not comment on medical information of individual travelers as it relates to this tennis player.”

She then claimed that only the CDC can answer the question and “This is something that they decide.”

Jean-Pierre also stated that migrants coming into the U.S. and visitors to the country are “two different things”.

Doocy followed up, asking “Somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane, you say that’s not okay. Somebody walks into Texas or Arizona unvaccinated, they’re allowed to stay?”

“That’s not how it works. It’s not like someone walks over,” Jean-Pierre replied. --->READ MORE HERE

Long COVID effects on business and education:

The pandemic has affected many aspects of our lives, from health consequences to the collateral damage to restaurants and "mom and pop stores." Supply chain problems have created panic shopping among consumers and many entertainment venues have seen the number of patrons decimated.

But what about large corporations such as Wal-Mart, BMO, or Exxon? What has COVID done to them?

Wenlong Yuan is the Stu Clark Chair in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the UM Asper School of Business. His current research includes the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for international business strategy and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

"Every kind of firm was affected by COVID," he says, "so on the macro level we can see a very broad impact of the pandemic. Smaller businesses were hit worse than larger companies, mostly because they had fewer employees, and they couldn't operate when even a few were sick. But nevertheless, larger businesses felt the effects too."

Yuan says that previous to COVID, global markets were linked to one another and increases in one sector usually meant a parallel increase in another, like oil and tech stocks varying together.

But COVID created a situation where decoupling emerged, so that the economies of traditionally linked countries began doing their own thing.

"The decoupling of China and the U.S., for example, should have resulted in more manufacturing jobs coming back from overseas, but that did not occur. If you restrict imports from one country, manufacturing will move to another country, such as when China moves its manufacturing to other parts of Asia so as to avoid the U.S.." --->READ MORE HERE
