Good morning. Here are the 7 things you need to know today: washingtonpost.com/the-seven/2021…
1. The FDA is neutral on the need for coronavirus booster shots.

Its review said vaccines are still effective without boosters and that data isn’t clear on whether they’re necessary. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09…
2. Democrats are putting finishing touches on their $3.5 trillion economic package.

The key points: Major changes to federal health care, education, immigration, climate and tax laws. The plan needs to pass the full House and Senate. washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021…
3. Simone Biles and three other gymnasts gave gut-wrenching testimonies in Congress.

They accused the FBI of turning “a blind eye” to doctor Larry Nassar’s abuse and want charges against FBI agents and anyone else who enabled his abuse. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

From July: Iceland tested a 4-day workweek. Employees were productive — and happier, researchers say. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
The trials found a shorter work week translated into increased employee well-being among a range of indicators, from stress to health and work-life balance.

These issues have become more pressing as reports of burnout have risen amid the pandemic. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
Participants in the trials said the work-time reductions allowed them to run errands, participate in home duties, exercise and spend quality time with family and friends.

This shift often translated into less stress at home and wider social well-being. wapo.st/2T0ZRlA Image
