Welcome to the second issue of the 2021 edition of Unprecedented. The first week of the Biden administration already has represented a shift to the federal government's approach to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to announcing plans for a nationwide vaccine distribution strategy, as well as requiring face coverings on federal property, President Biden has authorized the use of the Defense Production Act to ramp up production of personal protective equipment and vaccines. Many states, however, are struggling to distribute and administer even their current supply. West Virginia is leading the way with 83 percent of its doses having been administered, but California and Rhode Island have used just 45 percent of available doses. And solving the distribution problems will not immediately end the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fauci estimates that normal life will not return for most Americans until fall 2021 even with high rates of vaccination by summer's end. It seems, then, that COVID-19 and its related litigation will remain with us for months to come, if not longer. So join us for this issue's review of new developments in litigation over executive orders, employment litigation, insurance coverage, and tuition reimbursements.
