My Covid situation is getting pretty complex over here.
My mom is in a skilled nursing facility where people are starting to test positive. She was moved into a holding area where they bring in new patients that have had one negative test and they wait there for the next negative test to be moved to a gen pop. It’s risky but she was living in one of the 7 levels of hell in gen pop and wasn’t getting her basic needs taken care of. We feel it safer and more comfortable where she is.
At work I feel the safest students and staff get a Covid test every week, masking for everyone. All staff immunized
At my son’s school...just some simple questions parent can fudge and the follow up is inconsistent from the school if you don’t complete them. No cases so far at his school that we know of, but one other district has 74 students out on quarantine. It’s a complete lack of leadership that they aren’t willing to make a tough decision to have the students and staff tested. The school boards declined the money being offered to support testing. I’m worried to with the recall in CA that the new governor will roll back all the protections and we will turn in to Florida. I seriously think that voting no on the recall will save lives.
I play soccer on Friday nights and also had my son in the on Sunday’s. It’s indoors. The mask policy is not even enforced. I didn’t enroll my son in the classes and I’m thinking about not playing the next season. I’m lucky in that I get payed if I have to quarantine or take cars of a family member, but missing two weeks of work is just too much to deal with.
My friend who I go to soccer games with reacted negatively when I told him the news that we have to go back to masks when attending games. “It’s just the flu.” Then I reminded him that my mom cants see people while she is dying in a skilled nursing facility. That other people’s action have serious affect on other people’s lives. We brushed it off with a joke, but it was concerning.

That's this type of person getting all lathered up with my post that they just can't express their opinion fast enough or loud enough. I feel so bad that he had to deal with the flu for a whole week.............

If nothing else, they're always offering up some head scratching commentary thinking they're being all smart. Another graduate of the Tucker Carlson school of reporting. Read this and just let it sink in a bit. Yes, that's a damn good question Candace............so we should have Medicare for all?? LOL

The question I always have is if this is about “government control” what are they trying to get you to do?
The answer is making the other medications free does not impact the economy with any significance. Covid did, and to protect the investments of millionaires on wall street we make the vaccine free so those with money don't loose money.
Florida Board of Education orders Broward, Alachua counties to allow mask opt-out in 48 hours or start losing funding
The Florida State Board of Education has sent an order to Broward and Alachua counties' school board officials stating that they have 48 hours to comply with the state's wishes to allow an opt-out option for masks or the state will begin withholding funds, according to copies of the orders shown...
I think that most of our Covid issues can be boiled down to a complete lack of leadership. The CDC should have taken the reins from the beginning, but since the pandemic office was dissolved 2 years before the pandemic, this is just a pipe dream. We have no coherent national strategy which is part of why we're bungling this up so bad.

Probably true, but with the school board it’s the lack of willingness to make a decision that will piss people off but is the right decision for the safety of everyone. I hear there is a lawsuit in TX regarding kids with disabilities not being able to got to school because of the lack of mask mandate.

Maker of Popular Covid Test Told Factory to Destroy Inventory
One of the leading producers of rapid tests purged supplies and laid off workers as sales dwindled. Weeks later, the U.S. is facing a surge in infections with diminished capacity.

SC too is apparently falling in line behind Florida and Texas.
The mandate of having a vaccination or showing proof of a negative test result every 72 hours that our global holding company issued yesterday is also apparently illegal under the executive order SC's governor signed. We have a office location in SC, and they are being told "we need to figure this out, like you we have questions. We don't have answers yet. Until we do just continue along with wearing a mask when in the office when walking around or within 6 feet of other people.".

Yeah, my wife just started back teaching 6th graders and the county is trying to defy the anti-mask mandate law but I'm not sure they really can. It is a mess. At least our county has a higher than average vaccination rate than most of SC I guess.

My school board voted to mandate masks for pre-K through 6th grade. I’m very happy that the under 12 population will be protected, but am not happy that the unvaccinated older kids won’t be protected. However, my younger boy turns 12 in a couple weeks, so he’ll be good!
From what I read, some school districts in Texas are making the masks part of the dress code. Nice little loophole.

Go on, geezer.
Well my daughter just finished her second week of school and just before bed tonight, she sneezed and lots of snot came out. It wasn’t all clear. Hoping that it’s just some allergies. Our air quality has been pretty poor because of the California fires. We’ll see how the weekend plays out.
