Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

My kids’ school goes back Wednesday, but there is a mask requirement in place. While there were individual cases last year, no major outbreaks.

 

I'm really worried about Louisiana and Mississippi. This hurricane is looking like it may be as much as a Cat 4 when if goes ashore. Between power being knocked out and people being forced into tightly closed areas with Covid raging and what a power outage might do to hospitals and to oxygen production, this could get very damn bad indeed.

 

Marin County - is that not upper class?

Sometimes the affluence of the community means nothing in these episodes.

 

In my area, the affluence usually l leads to dipshits who think it doesn’t apply to them.

 

We’re not particularly worried we’re about to have a massive problem. Kids and staff must wear masks. The kid in question was usually good about wearing one and a fair number of our kiddos got the vaccine (can’t put a number to it but anecdotally a fair number). Just annoyed because we don’t test the kiddos.

 

The ladyfriend’s school welcomes students back Wednesday. (Aside: This seems like the shortest summer break ever.) Mass. has an in-school mask mandate through Oct. 1. Her school has seventh- and eighth-graders, so in theory most of those kids are eligible for vaccines. She works in a community that straddles the line between upper-middle-class suburb and somewhat rural (for around here) town, so it’ll be interesting to see how everything plays out.

 

Don't take a vaccine, then take horse medicine and die. You can't make this up.

Wait, yes you can!

 

Sounds promising, at least. Good luck.

 

One helluva thread here re UA's mask "policy". The grad students who spend the most time in a room with the student body are more than a little pissed.
