Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

The fact that the most outspoken right-wing "celebrities" are Chuck Woolery and James Woods -- a couple of fucking has-beens if I've ever seen one -- is telling.

 

Here's the way it usually works:

Contagious (but asymptomatic) Child A goes to school, infects Child B. Child A develops symptoms a couple days later.

Contagious (but asymptomatic) Child B goes to school, infects Child C. Child B develops symptoms a couple days later.

Pissed off at having to care for a sick kid instead of working, Child B's mother gets on Facebook and berates the "irresponsible" mother of the kid who went to school sick and infected her child (when she unknowingly did the same thing).

 

While that does happen, my teacher friend was talking about obviously sick kids being sent to school. Kids showing up running fever. Kids who puked while getting dressed for school. Kids so sick the principal is sending them home for day before 8:30 am. That, as she said, happens all the time - likely due to the scenario of the parent(s) needing to get to work with no other option for childcare.

 

play ball!

 

MUH FREEDUMBS!

 

This is true. I should point out the student in my story was in high school, so old enough to stay home alone.

 

fuuuuuuuuuck

I've about worn out this old Niven and Pournelle quote, but it remains appropriate: "Think of it as evolution in action."

 

You would think that recent memory combined with where Fla, Tx, and Az are they'd know better.
