Omicron sharpens labor pains for short-staffed businesses - The Business Journals Employers across a range of fields were already suffering from a dearth of workers. Omicron has made it significantly worse.

The question before us is not how to respond to the pandemic, but who holds the power to do so. The answer is
clear: Under the law as it stands today, that power rests
with the States and Congress, not OSHA. In saying this
much, we do not impugn the intentions behind the agency’s mandate. Instead, we only discharge our duty to enforce the law’s demands when it comes to the question who may govern the lives of 84 million Americans. Respecting those demands may be trying in times of stress. But if this Court were to abide them only in more tranquil conditions, declarations of emergencies would never end and the liberties our Constitution’s separation of powers seeks to preserve would amount to little. - opinion https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/21a244_hgci.pdf
