The White House announced Thursday that it is providing $7.4 billion of funding from the pandemic relief measure passed earlier this year to hire and train public health workers to respond to COVID-19 and future crises.

The funding includes $3.4 billion for “overstretched public health departments” in states and localities to hire additional staff who can work on vaccination outreach, testing, contact tracing and other tasks.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and AmeriCorps will team up to launch a Public Health AmeriCorps, with $400 million in funding “to recruit and build a new workforce ready to respond to the public health needs of the nation,” the White House said.

At least $500 million will go toward hiring school nurses who can help in the COVID-19 vaccination effort for younger people. The CDC on Wednesday cleared the way for adolescents aged 12-15 to get vaccinated, and approval for younger children could come down the line.

A final $3 billion will focus on longer-term funding to “modernize the public health workforce” with a new grant program focused on helping public health departments beyond the current pandemic.

The funding is part of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that President BidenJoe BidenBiden says Beau’s assessment of first 100 days would be ‘Be who you are’ Biden: McCarthy’s support of Cheney ouster is ‘above my pay grade’ Conservative group sues over prioritization of women, minorities for restaurant aid MORE signed in March.

“The funding announced today will allow the United States to expand its public health workforce, creating tens of thousands of jobs to support vaccinations, testing, contact tracing, and community outreach, and strengthen America’s future public health infrastructure,” the White House said.

Local public health officials have long said that they are underfunded and overstretched, and have warned of a boom-and-bust cycle in which resources are not maintained once the attention from one public health scare passes.

Last week, the White House also announced the release of $250 million for “community outreach workers” to help get people vaccinated, part of the push from Biden to get 70 percent of adults to have at least one shot by July 4.

McDonald’s announced Thursday that over the next several months it will be boosting pay for employees at company-owned restaurants, which account for approximately 650 of its nearly 14,000 U.S. locations.

Amid a labor shortage, McDonald’s has decided to increase wages by 10 percent over the next couple of months for more than 36,000 employees, the fast food giant said in a press release. 

“These increases, which have already begun, will be rolled out over the next several months and include shifting the entry level range for crew to at least $11 — $17 an hour, and the starting range for shift managers to at least $15 — $20 an hour based on restaurant location,” the press release states.

The increase in wages comes as activists and lawmakers fight for a $15 federal minimum wage to be implemented.

McDonald’s said Thursday that its average minimum wage should reach $15 by 2024, with some stores already hitting that goal.

Fight for $15, a group demanding a nationwide $15 minimum wage, a St. Louis McDonald’s worker and union leader Doneshia Babbitt released a statement after McDonald’s announcement condemning the restaurant chain for not implementing a $15 minimum wage at all stores immediately.

“That’s why we’re going on strike in 15 cities next Wednesday, May 19, the day before McDonald’s annual shareholders meeting, to demand $15/hr for every worker in every McDonald’s restaurant,” their statement reads. 

Along with the increase in wages, McDonald’s is planning on hiring 10,000 more employees the next three months as summer comes along and coronavirus restrictions lift allowing the restaurants to reopen the dining rooms. 

“Our first value is taking care of our people, and today we are rewarding our hardworking employees in McDonald-owned restaurants for serving our communities,” said Joe Erlinger, president of McDonald’s in the U.S. “These actions further our commitment to offering one of the leading pay and benefits packages in the industry.”

THE BIG DEAL—Judge agrees to leave CDC eviction pause intact for now: A federal judge on Friday agreed to delay the enforcement of her ruling earlier this month that struck down a nationwide freeze on evictions, handing a temporary reprieve to cash-strapped renters.

Click Here: Australia Rugby Shop

• In a 10-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich agreed to stay her earlier decision, which invalidated the nationwide freeze on evictions that was put in place by federal health officials amid the pandemic.
• The move allows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) eviction moratorium to remain intact while the Biden administration appeals her May 5 decision.

The rationale: In granting the emergency stay, Friedrich said the CDC’s “strong interest in controlling the spread of COVID-19 and protecting public health” outweighed other factors, including the potential loss of revenue to landlords. The Hill’s John Kruzel breaks it down here.

The background: Enacted in September, the CDC order was designed to mitigate the spread of coronavirus by helping financially distressed tenants remain in their homes instead of forcing them into homeless shelters or other crowded living spaces. The eviction pause was later extended through June.

Delaying the enforcement of her earlier ruling “will no doubt result in continued financial losses to landlords,” Friedrich, a Trump appointee, wrote Friday. “But the magnitude of these additional financial losses is outweighed by the Department’s weighty interest in protecting the public.”

LEADING THE DAY

Infrastructure deal imperiled by differences on financing: President BidenJoe BidenVirginia GOP gubernatorial nominee acknowledges Biden was ‘legitimately’ elected BuzzFeed News finds Biden’s private Venmo account Kid reporter who interviewed Obama dies at 23 MORE and Republican lawmakers say they’re making progress on an infrastructure package but still disagree on one key area: how to pay for it.

Biden said he was encouraged after meeting with top congressional leaders about the infrastructure deal on Wednesday, but the meeting didn’t delve into financing for the package. The president met Thursday with Republican senators but again suggested the discussion would focus on the scope of the package.

The snag: 

• Biden has suggested paying for the plan through an increase in the corporate tax rate, an idea against which Republicans have drawn a hard line.
• The White House has in recent days signaled a subtle but important shift in its willingness to pay for a package through means other than a corporate tax hike.
• But aside from corporate taxes, there are few other proposals for how to pay for an infrastructure deal: user fees through a gas or mileage tax, or passing it without a way to pay for it and opting for deficit spending.

The Hill’s Alex Gangitano and Brett Samuels walk us through the issue here.

April retail sales flat following March surge: Retails sales in April remained virtually unchanged from March, according to census data released Friday, a significant drop off following the major 10.7 percent surge the previous month.

• Retail sales came in at $619.9 billion, slightly higher than March, but falling short of the 1 percent rise economists had expected.
• The March growth in retail sales was fueled by $1,400 stimulus checks, though additional payments have continued to trickle out in April and May.

Despite the unexpected stall in growth, the latest figures are significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels, which reached $525.8 billion in February of last year, before the pandemic shuttered the economy. The Hill’s Niv Elis breaks it down here.

The Afghan government and the Taliban met for negotiations in Doha, Qatar, on Friday to discuss speeding up peace talks amid a rise in violence in Afghanistan. 

The talks, which began in September, had been on an extended stall, during which a spree of bombings ravaged Afghanistan as the U.S. prepares to withdraw its troops. 

“The two sides discussed the on-going situation of the country and emphasised speeding up the peace talks in Doha,” the Afghan negotiating team tweeted of the talks.

Mohammad Naeem, a Taliban spokesperson, echoed those remarks, saying the talks would continue after the Eid holidays and that the two sides discussed expediting negotiations.

Making progress in the intra-Afghan talks has been a top priority for the U.S. as it begins pulling troops out after roughly two decades of war in Afghanistan.

However, the road to progress has been bumpy, with the Taliban pulling out of U.S.-backed talks in Istanbul last month.

Violence has spiked in Afghanistan as the talks stalled, most recently with a bombing at a school near Kabul that killed dozens of girls.

The Taliban had vowed to ramp up attacks after the U.S. pushed its timeline for withdrawal back from May 1, a date agreed upon between the group and the Trump administration. 

The U.S. withdrawal is now slated to be done by Sept. 11, the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that pushed the country to invade Afghanistan.

The Biden administration is dispatching its top official on Israeli and Palestinian affairs to Israel as part of efforts to deescalate tensions that have erupted into military conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

“We are very focused on this. The United States remains committed to a two-state solution. This violence takes us further away from that goal,” the secretary continued.

The move marks the most significant involvement by the U.S. since conflict dramatically escalated in Israel earlier this week.

Israel Defence Forces carried out multiple air strikes across the Gaza Strip in retaliation to a barrage of thousands of rockets fired by Hamas, the Islamic militant and terrorist-designated group that runs the strip.

Riots also broke out overnight Tuesday in multiple Israeli towns and villages that are predominantly Muslim or mixed communities of Muslims and Jews, according to local reports.

Civilian casualties have been reported on both the side of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from Israeli air strikes, and in Israel as a result of rocket attacks launched by Hamas and other groups in the Strip.

Israel has said it has killed more than a dozen Hamas militants as part of its airstrikes, although Palestinian health officials have reported more than 50 civilian casualties, and that includes children.

“What’s happening in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, we’re deeply concerned about what we’re seeing. The images that came out overnight are harrowing and the loss of any civilian life is a tragedy,” the secretary said.

Blinken reinforced the stance by the administration that the U.S. supports Israel’s right to self defense, but said Israeli officials have an “extra burden” to avoid civilian casualties, especially children, as they respond to the rocket fire.

“There is, first, a very clear and absolute distinction between a terrorist organization, Hamas – that is indiscriminately raining down rockets, in fact, targeting civilians – and Israel’s response, defending itself, that is targeting the terrorists who are raining down rockets on Israel,” he said.

“But whenever we see civilian casualties and particularly when we see children caught in the crossfire, losing their lives, that has a powerful impact, and I think Israel has an extra burden in trying to do everything it possibly can to avoid civilian casualties, even as it is rightfully responding in defense of its people,” the secretary continued.

“And as I said, the Palestinian people have the right to safety and security, and we have to, I think, all work in that direction,” he added. “So, the single most important thing right now is de escalation. We will continue to carry that message to our partners and to Israel to the Palestinians, and to partners in the region.”

Today: More real-world evidence shows the mRNA vaccines work really well. States have been lifting mask mandates following CDC’s updated guidance, and the agency’s eviction freeze will remain intact pending appeal.

We’ll start with the end to several mask mandates:

States begin lifting mask mandates following updated CDC guidance

States are beginning to scrap their mask mandates after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidance on Thursday saying vaccinated Americans can go without masks in most settings.

Washington, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Kentucky immediately adopted the CDC guidance.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) said on Twitter that he is revising his executive orders to lift additional mitigation for vaccinated people.

“I firmly believe in following the science and will revise my executive orders in line with @CDCgov guidelines lifting additional mitigations for vaccinated people,” Pritzker tweeted. “The scientists’ message is clear: if you are vaccinated, you can safely do much more”

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) said that beginning on May 19, outdoor masking would no longer be required and indoor masking for fully vaccinated residents would not be required. However, the governor is still requiring indoor masks for those that are unvaccinated.

On Friday, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said the statewide indoor mask mandate would end May 15. Just two days ago, Hogan said he intended to lift the mandate by Memorial Day weekend, when 70 percent of residents had at least one vaccine dose. Virginia Gov.

Businesses start lifting mask requirements

Businesses have also started responding to the new CDC guidance, with Walmart saying Friday that it will no longer require customers and employees to wear face masks inside its stores if they are fully vaccinated.

Trader Joe’s said it will also no longer require customers to wear face masks inside its stores if they are vaccinated, though a spokesperson said that masks are still required for staff at this time.

The grocery store said on its COVID-19 webpage that it encourages “customers to follow the guidance of health officials, including, as appropriate, [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] CDC guidelines that advise customers who are fully vaccinated are not required to wear masks while shopping.”

But it’s all based on the honor system; nobody will be asking for proof of vaccination at the door. Some experts have said cloth masks may not be enough for employees if nobody else is wearing a mask; the medical-grade N95 may be needed. 

Trader Joe’s rule comes on the heels of another change that was quietly adopted; the company told USA Today that it is dropping senior hours at its stores, except where it’s required.

CDC finds Pfizer, Moderna vaccines to be 94 percent effective in health workers 

ADVERTISEMENT

The CDC’s ongoing largest effectiveness study found the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines to be 94 percent effective among health care workers. 

The interim study results released on Friday further support previous data on the effectiveness of the two vaccines, which use mRNA technology and have been widely administered in the U.S. 

The researchers estimated that those who were fully vaccinated were 94 percent less likely to develop symptomatic COVID-19, while people who were partially vaccinated were 82 percent less likely.

The study examined 1,843 health care professionals between January and March of this year after most workers in the field were given priority to get the vaccine early in the country’s rollout.

Why it’s important: The CDC research involved a sample size that reached a broader geographic area than the clinical trials with a network covering health care workers in 33 sites across 25 states.

“This report provided the most compelling information to date that COVID-19 vaccines were performing as expected in the real world,” Director Rochelle WalenskyRochelle WalenskyOvernight Health Care: States begin lifting mask mandates after new CDC guidance | Walmart, Trader Joe’s will no longer require customers to wear masks | CDC finds Pfizer, Moderna vaccines 94 percent effective in health workers Five takeaways from new CDC guidance on going maskless Pfizer, Moderna vaccines found to be 94 percent effective in health workers in CDC’s largest such study MORE said in a statement. “This study, added to the many studies that preceded it, was pivotal to CDC changing its recommendations for those who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.”

The study backed research released in March that found the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines were 90 percent effective at preventing all infections.

Eviction pause remains: Judge agrees to delay order ending CDC eviction freeze

A federal judge on Friday agreed to keep the nationwide freeze on evictions intact after her ruling earlier this month struck down the moratorium handing a temporary reprieve to cash-strapped renters.

The move keeps the eviction pause in place as the Biden administration appeals the judge’s May 5 decision that the CDC exceeded its authority with the ban on evictions.

U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich agreed to stay her earlier ruling in a 10-page ruling, which invalidated the nationwide freeze on evictions that was put in place by federal health officials amid the pandemic.

In granting the emergency stay, Friedrich said the CDC’s “strong interest in controlling the spread of COVID-19 and protecting public health” outweighed other factors, including the potential loss of revenue to landlords.

Background: Enacted in September as a public health measure, the CDC order was designed to mitigate the spread of coronavirus by helping financially distressed tenants remain in their homes, instead of forcing them into homeless shelters or other crowded living spaces. The eviction pause was later extended through June.

Housing advocates celebrate: “Without this stay, millions of families would be thrown into a spiral of irreparable and devastating harm, COVID-19 rates would spike, and policy interventions, like rental assistance, would be rendered worthless,” Emily Benfer, a law professor at Wake Forest University, said. “That battle is still on the horizon but, for today, the public health is better protected.”

What’s next: The Biden administration’s appeal of that decision is pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Biden said in his own proclamation signed Friday afternoon that the October 2019 order “does not advance the interests of the United States.”

“My Administration is committed to expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare,” Biden’s proclamation states. “We can achieve that objective, however, without barring the entry of noncitizens who seek to immigrate lawfully to this country but who lack significant financial means or have not purchased health insurance coverage from a restrictive list of qualifying plans.”

Biden ordered leaders at the departments of State, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security to “review any regulations, orders, guidance documents, policies, and any other similar agency actions developed pursuant to” the 2019 proclamation and issue “revised guidance” as appropriate that reflects his own policy.

The action represented Biden’s latest effort to roll back a policy of the previous administration. It came minutes after the White House made public an executive order revoking the “National Garden of American Heroes” that Trump ordered built last year.

An Italian nurse accidentally administered six doses of the coronavirus vaccine in one shot this week.

The nurse, who was not named, reportedly was distracted when she mistakenly gave a 23-year-old Italian woman the shot of Pfizer vaccine on Sunday morning at the Noa Hospital in Tuscany, according to CBS News.

Following the incident, the woman was monitored for 24 hours in the hospital. Doctors provided her with fluids and preventative fever and anti-inflammatory medications during her stay, the news outlet noted.

“This person at this time will certainly not have side effects,” Antonella Vicenti, director of infectious diseases at Noa Hospital, told CBS News.

“The patient did not have fever and did not have any pain except for pain at the inoculation site, nor any other manifestations,” Vincenti continued. “She was a bit frightened, thus we preferred to keep her here until this morning.”

Vicenti explained that studies conducted on the Pfizer vaccine have shown that people who receive up to five-times the normal dosage do not exhibit negative reactions. She also cited incidents that occurred in Israel and Germany where patients were given five-times the normal dosage and did not have adverse reactions.

A director of patient security for the northwest Tuscany health authority, Tommaso Bellandi, confirmed to the outlet that the nurse administering the shot on Sunday was not paying attention.

“This is something that should never happen,” he told CBS News. “Unfortunately, due to our limits as human beings, as well as organizational limits, these things can happen.”

Each vial of Pfizer vaccine holds six doses, which are then usually separated and placed in individual vials to be diluted, Bellandi said. He explained that on Sunday the nurse accidentally injected all of the vaccine from one undiluted vial.

“She thought that the dilution had taken place,” said Bellandi. “They are both transparent liquids of the same density. Unfortunately, this contributed to the error.”

According to CBS News, after the mistake was made, the nurse immediately recognized her error and notified the patient, her family and an attending doctor. The nurse was reportedly “heartbroken” over the incident.

“I’m not trying to justify something that we hoped would never happen,” Bellandi said while explaining that the hospital was extremely busy on Sunday. “We are extremely regretful, especially towards the young woman.”

En 2017, Janet Jackson donnait naissance à son premier enfant. Un petit garçon prénommé Eissa, fruit de son mariage terminé avec Wissam Al Mana. Dans les pages du magazine Stellar, disponible depuis le 11 août 2019, la star se livre sur les difficultés qu’elle rencontre comme mère célibataire.

“C’est dur d’être mère célibataire et de travailler. Je n’ai pas de nounou. Je fais tout moi-même. Si ma mère [Katherine Jackson, NDLR] a réussi à le faire avec neuf enfants, il n’y a aucune raison que je n’y arrive pas. Bien sûr, quand je travaille quelqu’un veille sur lui mais, au final, c’est mon bébé et moi. Parfois, ce n’est pas facile mais ma vie a changé. De toute évidence, désormais, mon bébé passe en premier“, a confié Janet Jackson au magazine australien. La chanteuse et son mari se sont séparés en avril 2017, cinq mois après la naissance du bébé. Ils s’étaient mariés en 2012.

La soeur du regretté Michael Jackson a aussi évoqué le goût d’Eissa pour… la musique ! “Il est du genre à utiliser sa baguette et à la faire retentir sur sa guitare. Je me suis dit : ‘Mais pourquoi il joue comme s’il était violoncelliste ?’ Il est parti dans sa chambre chercher une figurine de violon et me l’a apportée. Puis il a attrapé sa baguette et sa guitare et a continué. Alors, quand plus tard je suis revenue à la maison, je lui ai apporté un violon en jouet, je lui ai montré une fois comment s’en servir et c’était parti. Puis je lui ai acheté un vrai violon et il était surexcité. Il dort avec. Il mange son petit-déjeuner, son déjeuner et son dîner avec. Je lui montre de jeunes enfants qui font du violon sur l’iPad et ensuite il en découvre par lui-même, tous ces petits prodiges. Il crée des mélodies“, a-t-elle ajouté avec fierté.

Aucun doute, de ses parents, Eissa a hérité le talent. On lui souhaite une carrière aussi belle que celle de son oncle.

The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) on Thursday launched $3 million in television ads to demand Congress pass the American Jobs Plan.

The union, which is the largest health care union and has 2 million members, will run the ads in the Washington, D.C., Beltway area, as well as in Arizona, West Virginia, Colorado, Georgia, Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia and Nevada to target the senators from those states.

“It’s time to invest in care, to give working families the support they need and jump-start our economy with good new jobs for caregivers,” the ad says. “Congress, pass President BidenJoe BidenAtlanta mayor won’t run for reelection South Carolina governor to end pandemic unemployment benefits in June Airplane pollution set to soar with post-pandemic travel boom MORE’s plan and invest in care jobs now, because care is essential.”

Biden’s plan invests $400 billion in home and community-based care in an effort to solidify infrastructure of the care economy by creating jobs for care workers. The investment would aim to create new jobs and offer caregivers a raise, strong benefits and the ability to join a union.

“The vast majority of voters across party lines support the American Jobs Plan’s $400 billion investment in home- and community-based care jobs. It’s an economic game changer for an essential workforce made up predominantly of Black, Latina, Asian and immigrant women. And without the care they provide, the rest of our nation can’t get back to work,” Mary Kay Henry, SEIU president, told The Hill in a statement. 

She called for Congress to quickly pass the plan to invest in union care jobs.

“Now is not the time for partisan politics or excuses—it’s time to get this done. Voters are watching,” she said.
