Im exploring the option of being offered 1099 instead of w2 at my next position. I'm told you are allowed to expense way more liberally and reduce the taxable income this way.

Have read a lot of chatter about US not allowing exports of raw materials for vaccines being a problem. These raw materials do not impact Covishield or Covaxin, so not sure how it is a problem. These are only needed for the yet to be tested Novovax. Plus I feel vaccines will not help with the immediate crisis - there is no way we can vaccinate 600million people in time. A March 2020 style lockdown is the only real solution in my opinion to deal with this immediate crisis.
