Over the last few months, I’ve noted here and elsewhere that employers can very likely mandate vaccines.
Now are starting to see the first court cases confirm this.
In a decision issued over the weekend, a federal court in Texas rejected claims by a class of workers at a Houston hospital that the hospital’s policy
Did you like Executive Order 12 which set forth a new mask rule in Connecticut? Well, I hope you didn’t get used to it because it changed again on Thursday.
Executive Order 12A tweaks the prior rule.
It provides that the Department of Public Health shall issue a rule setting forth a comprehensive list of
On Tuesday afternoon, Governor Lamont issued new Executive Order 12 updating the mask guidance that the state has been operating under since way back in Executive Order 7NNN on August 14, 2020 (and Executive Order 7BB on April 17, 2020 before that). The new guidance skews closer to the CDC guidance that we talked about
You remember the first “real” week of the pandemic, right? The NBA shut down. Then the schools. And then we were all shopping for toilet paper. Things were moving at light speed.

Over the weekend, I became one of an ever-growing club: The Fully Vaccinated. (A lucky extra dose at a pharmacy was my early miracle.)
By early May, there will many millions more.
What then?
I posted on Twitter over the weekend that being fully vaccinated right now is a strange world that is causing the
Last week, along with my colleagues Lisa Zana and Robert Grady, I presented to the Association of Corporate Counsel group from Westchester County and Southern Connecticut on Returning to the Office.
Of course, it’s still premature. The COVID-19 cases in Connecticut and New York are among the highest in the nation. While vaccinations continue to
A few days ago, I drafted a pretty somber take on the last year in lockdown. It recounted those early hectic days and the long slog of working from home.
Candidly, it was kind of depressing. Maybe I’ll post it one day here. But not now. (If you want a post from a year ago,
Last month, our webinar on vaccines was really very popular. Given the breadth of the topic, we didn’t get a chance to answer all the questions that people had. In addition, since that initial program, Connecticut has modified its vaccination eligibility rules meaning employers that thought that they would have some time to think
