White House Says No Intention to Require Covid-19 Testing on Domestic Flights

NTD:

WASHINGTON—The White House said on Friday it was not currently planning to require people to take COVID-19 tests before domestic airline flights after the prospects of new rules raised serious concerns among U.S. airlines, unions, and some lawmakers.

White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said at a briefing on Friday that “reports that there is an intention to put in place new requirements, such as testing, are not accurate.”

Psaki spoke after the chief executives of major U.S. airlines, including American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines, met virtually with White House COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said last month the agency was “actively looking” at expanding mandatory COVID-19 testing to U.S. domestic flights.

The CDC on Jan. 26 began requiring negative COVID-19 tests or evidence of recovery from the disease from nearly all U.S.-bound international passengers aged 2 and older. read more

    https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/deaths.htm claims that fewer than three million people died in the U.S. in 2018.
    https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 asserts that nearly half a million people have been killed in the U.S. by “The Rona” in the last twelve months.

    A skeptic might multiply ~500,000 by the extra ~$20,000 that hospitals are gifted, (grafted?,) for claiming CoVID-19 as cause of death to find a ten(ish) billion dollar motivation for overstating the effects of “Rona.”
