WASHINGTON (AP) — In his most forceful pandemic actions and words
President Joe Biden on Thursday ordered sweeping new federal vaccine
requirements for as many as 100 million Americans
— private-sector employees as well as health care workers and federal contractors

— in an all-out effort to curb the surging COVID-19 delta variant .

Speaking at the White House, Biden sharply criticized the tens of millions

of Americans who are not yet vaccinated,

despite months of availability and incentives.

“We’ve been patient.
But our patience is wearing thin, and your refusal has cost all of us,”

he said, all but biting off his words.

The unvaccinated minority “can cause a lot of damage, and they are.”

All employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated
or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans.
And the roughly 17 million workers at health facilities that receive federal
Medicare or Medicaid also will have to be fully vaccinated.

Biden is also requiring vaccination for employees of the executive branch
and contractors who do business with the federal government
— with no option to test out.
That covers several million more workers.

The U.S. is seeing about 300% more new COVID-19 infections a day
about two-and-a-half times more hospitalizations, and nearly twice the number
of deaths compared to the same time last year.
Some 80 million people remain unvaccinated.

After months of using promotions to drive the vaccination rate,
Biden is taking a much firmer hand, as he blames people who
have not yet received shots for the sharp rise in cases
killing more than 1,000 people per day
and imperiling a fragile economic rebound.

The requirement for large companies to mandate vaccinations
or weekly testing for employees will be enacted through a forthcoming rule
from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
that carries penalties of $14,000 per violation

The Department of Veterans Affairs, and the Pentagon moved last month
to require all service members to get vaccinated...
Combined, the White House estimates those requirements cover
2.5 million Americans.
Thursday’s order is expected to affect nearly 2 million more federal workers
and potentially millions of contractors.

Most of the spread — and the vast majority of severe illness and death
— is occurring among those not yet fully vaccinated.

Perhaps the most perplexing aspect of AT&T Stadium, otherwise known as “Jerry World,” is the glare from the sun that bursts through the windows and shines directly onto the field. Time and time again the glare has impacted players’ visibility during games, yet Jerry Jones refuses to make any changes to account for the sun.

Rather than install curtains, Jones has previously said he feels it’s a home-field advantage to have that type of stadium factor impacting games. Well, the glare ended up benefitting the Chiefs early into Thursday’s Thanksgiving game, as a pass from Dak Prescott to George Pickens fell incomplete, at least in part due to the impact of the sun’s glare.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."		(13.09.2025, 10:58)(10:58)0
