The kids are good about their masks, so Iād be surprised if they had it. But weāre kidding ourselves if we think open childcares donāt mean parents dropping off sick kids.

Yep. Weāre in week two of lockdown 2.0 (Melbourne). Itās not so bad, personally, but for feeling more isolated and more fed up with the people who are pissed off at the second lockdown and extra vocal about it. Also, fake signs have gone up in the municipality (kinda equivalent to county) next to mine claiming to be from the local council and that playgrounds are open. Fucking idiots and absolute bastards for aiming at children.
Meanwhile, weāre headed for compulsory masks so I finally ordered some yesterday, from an Australian company. No word on expected arrival though.

Iām sorry. I know you were hoping for some work time and thatās harder with the kids home.
And now we have a government seeking to force all public schools to open in Augustā¦ weāre all so fucked.

Daycares are easy, right? The kids arenāt good vectors. They stay in one room, other than going outside for recess, and many of the rooms open straight outside. And yet, theyāve been closed 4/8 reopened weeks.
Weāre in trouble.

On top of that incredibly horrible analogy, he is also clearly counting on absolutely no one in his audience having any idea of what actually happened during the 1918 flu.

Thereās been a plague focus in the American west since about 1900. It reached California in 1899, and Colorado by the 1970s. See Ole Benedictow, The Black Death, pages 45 to 47.

My SO interacts with more people that I do, even before, Iām just a hermit by nature.
He knows this entire extended family, from the late grandfather and grandmother to all the cousins. One of these people went on a trip to another state and that included visiting his step-son and family. On the drive back, that other stateās health department called to say that the daughter-in-law and infant grandchild were in the hospital with COVID. He was instructed to isolate and get a test.
That asshole refused. Not just the test, but he refused to isolate, and wonāt wear a mask, even though family members were IN the hospital. He thinks itās a hoax, and I donāt get how.
He went to my SOās business and wouldnāt keep a safe distance. Well, he got cussed out and kicked out of the business. He literally said āyouāre just trying to make the president look badā which makes zero sense. The president doesnāt give a fuck what some guy in some small town does.
Would it shock you to learn that this person is a retired cop? LOL
Itās disheartening, but we did hear that the hospitalized people have been released and are OK.
But that guy is going to get people killed when it does burn through our area. It hasnāt yet, but I feel like Iām (a little bit) bracing for impact.
