The existing health rules and protocols at state/federal level and the remedies are adequate by many industry groups. That is the reason the Trump Administration rejected similar proposals from the national AFL-CIO. The Virginia Poultry Federation already faces penalties if members fail to provide adequate protective equipment or sanitation. They are already complying with additional COVID-driven rules or recommendations from the health and safety regulators and taking their own steps to prevent infection. “There is no scientific basis for regulating beyond what these agencies have recommended to date,” they state. It turns out that forehead temperature readings do not always spot infected people, and the elevated temperature could be from another cause. “Layering additional documentation and reporting requirements on top of extensive measures that have been instituted already would be overly burdensome and unnecessary,” its leadership wrote.

Kids are not a big source of the disease. A look at the data blatantly shows that kids aren't the source of infection and the vast majority who get it are people with comorbidities in nursing homes. Measles outbreaks, more virulent and dangerous, have never required this. This shouldn't be true now, else it would be true for flu outbreaks, etc.

You can't run an economy on fear. Run the country on data, making wise decisions. This masks is not possible for many nor should people be FORCED to go with something because they're healthy. Innocent until proven guilty.
