Return-to-office mandates

[edit]

I can't find a single Wikipedia article that covers corporate and government return-to-office mandates. If there is one, could someone point me to it? ☆ Bri (talk) 20:27, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please edit it

“Contracting the virus from a ski trip, Garfield was able to return to the slopes, although with fingers and toes amputated.”

Please add “some” before “fingers and toes”, as per source. I thought he had them all amputed. 2804:14D:5C32:4673:E399:DDB9:17B5:8D2A (talk) 01:45, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Transition to Endemic Stage is Misleading

[edit]

Firstly, "transition to endemic stage" is a misleading subsection title: The CDC has never stated Covid-19 is endemic but that the emergency phase is over: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/end-of-phe.html

Also, Dr. Anthony Fauci walked back his wording that Covid-19 was endemic shortly after he was quoted saying that: he said following that comment it wasn't quite what he meant and we are still in a pandemic: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2022-04-28/fauci-walks-back-coronavirus-comments-says-pandemic-not-over-in-u-s

Therefore, I think "transition to endemic stage" itself is a misleading and a more accurate term for this subsection ought to replace it: "ending of the emergency phase" for example.

And if the moderators do not feel the links I have provided are cause to change the subsection title, I would kindly ask that my two notes with links be included in the "transition to endemic" subsection.

Thank you. Berniethecat (talk) 17:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to "Transition to later phases" to match the present state of the general pandemic article. Information about the end of the PHE and Fauci walking back his wording is already in the article, the latter in the heading itself.
Also, to be clear, I am not a mod and Wikipedia doesn't have mods per se; see WP:ADMIN for what administrators do (which I am not) and WP:SILVERLOCK for why this article is not able to be edited by some users. Crossroads -talk- 18:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for making it more accurate. Berniethecat (talk) 18:42, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should remove the following categories: 2024 in the United States and 2024 disasters in the United States because there is no COVID pandemic in the USA in 2024 2A01:5A8:303:C65E:4CF9:6177:6F81:1FC4 (talk) 09:13, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
