U.S. employers added only 194,000 jobs in September as the Delta wave persisted.
It has been known since the initial COVID-19 wave in spring, 2020 that the disease and the economy was a two-headed coin, that you could not heal the one without healing the other. Yet, month after month, for eighteen months, under two presidents, two different regimes at CDC we stumble and bumble and fumble this simple, critical fact. You can't reopen an economy with a sick workforce, you don't get a V-shaped recovery, you get no recovery--from either of the twinned problems. President Biden had Original COVID licked but his CDC then took its eye off the ball and Delta dawned in a scorching sunburst. Behind the 8-ball again.
