Even with all of the frustrations involved, I'm glad that my kids are still doing school from home to be honest. I can understand why you would feel that way. I'm at the opposite end as my daughter needs contact with kids her age, she's 12 so she's at a pretty critical age socially.

retrofade Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 4 minutes ago, mugtang said: Me too. Although if she had it I'm sure she would've been fine. Neither of us are high risk. Now, if this was 3 years ago when I looked like I swallowed myself (I was morbidly obese) I would be terrified. Our main concern is that my wife has a heart condition, and COVID could conceivably be a really, really, really bad thing for her to have. Her sister, who I've mentioned before, is an MD and PhD, and runs her own research lab at an Ivy, has told her that she needs to avoid contact with people who may have become infected or could possibly be carrying it. I'm the only one that goes out to stores, and I wear a mask and gloves and then Lysol spray everything before I bring it into the house just to be safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had contact with my brother I would think differently as he's immuno-compromised. But neither of us have direct contact with any high risk individuals.

The reason I asked the questions is a co-worker 'suddenly' was out on sick leave. No info about said illness, which I understand (HIPPA laws) but a couple days turned into exactly 15 days when she returned. We all wear masks ( corporate mandate) we limit our interactions to a few minutes and try to adhere to policy as much as possible. None of us knew how 'sick' she was, until she let it slip. I'm of the opinion (now) that most companies cannot /will not put employees out on quarantine based on one persons results or will notify those who were working around said person. By the time she got her results, if we were going be infected, we would have been and spread it to others. Hope your colleague gets better and you and yours stay healthy.

Thank you. as teachers we wear our masks religiously but I’m not sold on how much good they actually do. But I love my job and the kids in my class so I’ll be a good soldier and do what I can to keep them and my family safe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since many are the same folks who cited the protests and riots with spreading, but somehow not this. Hypocrisy all around.

The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still posters on here spewing the same misinformation that he was spewing back then. And he doesn't want to create a panic. It appears the president thinks the American people are children incapable of digesting the truth. I can't say that right now I disagree with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
