Senate Democrats adopted 'Don't test, don't tell' COVID policy to rush through inflation bill: 'You can bring your ventilator and still vote' - TheBlaze

The Senate, which is controlled by Democrats, unofficially adopted a "Don't test, don't tell" COVID-19 policy ahead of last weekend's marathon session that resulted in the Inflation Reduction Act being passed.

"They’re not going to delay it if a member has gotten COVID," a top Senate aide told Puck News before the vote. "Counterparts are saying they’re not going to test anymore. It’s not an official mandate but we all know we’re not letting Covid get in the way. The deal is happening. Less testing, just wear masks and get it done."
