England Calls for an End, to All Government-Mandated, COVID Restrictions.

NBC reports that on February 24, England lifted all government-mandated COVID-19 restrictions.

Even the legal requirement for anyone who tests positive to isolate at their home has been lifted.

.

According to officials, those who test positive will still be advised to stay home for at least five days, but they will no longer be legally required to do so.

.

The decision also means that those with lower incomes will no longer receive financial support to compensate for a loss of wages due to isolation.

.

NBC reports that routine contact tracing of infected individuals has also been halted.

.

On February 21, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson laid out the Conservative government's plan for "living with COVID" long term.

.

This plan also reportedly includes scaling back free universal COVID-19 testing beginning on April 1.

.

NBC reports that in January, most coronavirus restrictions were already lifted in England.

.

Similarly, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have also chosen to lift restrictions in recent weeks.

Other European countries, like Denmark and Sweden, have ended all COVID restrictions as well.

.

NBC reports that critics, including the British Medical Association, have warned that it is too soon to end restrictions, particularly isolation laws.

.

The strategy, according to the British Medical Association, fails to protect vulnerable people at the highest risk of serious harm from COVID-19.

On June 20, the Supreme Court upheld a tax on foreign corporate investments enacted by a Republican-controlled Congress under former President Donald Trump.

The case revolved around whether an individual can be forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned companies regardless of if they were a source of income. The case revolved around whether an individual can be forced to pay taxes on investments in foreign-owned companies regardless of if they were a source of income. According to the 16th Amendment of the Constitution, Congress has the power to "collect taxes on incomes.". In the case, Charles and Kathleen Moore claim they were unfairly taxed on their $40,000 investment in an India-based company called KisanKraft Machine Tools. . While the company made a profit, the Moores claim that they received no dividends and that the money was reinvested in the business. As a result, the Moores did not pay taxes between 2006 and 2017 on what the U.S. government later defined as income from their investment. . Due to a provision that was part of a major tax law enacted by former President Donald Trump in 2017, the Moores paid $15,000 in additional taxes. They later sought a refund for that payment, arguing that they had been unlawfully taxed based on an increase in the value of a capital investment not qualifying as income. The couple's challenge was rejected by the Supreme Court 7-2
