Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

I think this gets very interesting with spring breaks around the corner. Our school district's as well as the large university in our town is next week. So many people scatter. I have a feeling as a result there will be no school for a bit a week or two after it's over. And many spring breaks are the same time so we'll see how it goes across the board. Timing is interesting in that regard for sure.

 

My mom will be ninety-seven tomorrow. I worry one of her aides will be a carrier. I won't fly home to see her for the time being.

I understand she will likely die this year anyway, but I want her to die because her heart gave out or she just dwindled away. I don't want her to be that elderly Minnesota woman who gets reported on the news.

 

My dad has terminal throat cancer. I was going to go on a weeklong trip at the beginning of April but it got canned because of this. I had a feeling it would, but if it didn't I was still going to go. And then not see my parents for awhile (my mom, who is mostly healthy, still falls in a risk category by age if anything). What I don't get with the people minimizing this is that they all know someone at risk and it is very, very dangerous for those at risk. Why are they not thinking of that? It amazes me.

 

Hope nobody is going to liverpool
Top surgeon at Aintree is staff member struck down by coronavirus

 

Purely second hand info but my friend works at hospital in Silicon Valley where patient just died and son did NOT consent to anti viral drug until 68 yr old mom was on ventilator (5 DAYS after diagnosis)! Plus they lied about whether she had been around a sick person. Some people.....

NYU to move classes online beginning Wednesday to check ‘spread of the coronavirus’

 

Those admins are in a tough place.

If it's a college and you extend spring break, do you keep dorms open for the kids who can't afford to leave town or go to their parents' house (say foreign students)?

If it's a local district, you're putting parents in a bind to find caregivers for younger kids.

 

This college told everyone to GTFO:

Berea College cancels semester and asks all students to move out in response to COVID-19 outbreak

 

Got 2 kids in colleges. Guess they come home. Online classes are not close to regular classes.

 

Think school divisions who drug their feet on one-to-one technology are regretting their decision?

 

If they send my son home from college in NoCal to SoCal, I don't know how much safer he will be.
