I feel like Dr. Acton completely stepping down is a sign of how she feels the school year will go. I think it’s probably more about how taking this job has totally fucked up her life.

I am pleased about the mask requirement. Our school was already requiring masks grades 3-8, so it isn’t much of a change.
I do feel really bad about kids missing extracurriculars. As an adult it’s easy to see the big picture (obviously not everyone bc assholes be assholes), but as a teenager I lived and breathed playing my sport. To miss a whole season would have been heartbreaking and I would have been so upset.

I could give negative fuks about sports. I mean, I love sports. My kid loves to play sports. But, it's not the end of the world without a fall season. It will be ok, really. It's not worth protesting about. And can we all take a look at MLB as to what can happen if it's not taken seriously? We can't create a "bubble" for HS sports like the NBA and NHL did. And without a bubble, it will spread. This is not rocket science. yesssss

I feel bad for all of these kids. My own kids are younger but all of this is completely heartbreaking to watch through their eyes. It's hard for adults, too. I really feel for people who are missing out on life events or having to change their plans. It's an impossible situation. All I want is for everyone to be alive when this is over so we can spend the next few years making up for all of the things we had to miss.

I fault the adults who can't help temper their kids expectations and are passing out petitions to convince districts to allow sports and to waive the testing mandate. And really, I fault those that couldn't make the hard decisions since we first found out about this virus that would have allowed kids to go to school and some sports/activities to happen. Sorry I'm very crabby about all of this today. I was trying to listen to our superintendent's newest update while deciding what I'm going to need to supplement kindergarten and am just feeling very frustrated with everything.

Dr. Acton just breaks my heart. Good lord the shit that woman has gone through and continues to go through. She was truly our one hope of staying on top of this.

I was just coming to talk about DeWine testing positive. His press conference was cancelled today and will be tomorrow instead. I wonder if the county colors will still be updated/released today.

So why move it tomorrow? He won't be magically better tomorrow. I saw yesterday that it was moved to Friday because of Trumps visit. I’m not sure he will still have it tomorrow now.

It says he is symptom less right now it was caught during a routine protocol testing so my guess is they are all now quarantining and he will do things from his house

With us orange, if we stay there my kids will start back to school per normal 5 days a week per their school plan. I'm not a fan of that idea, but a lot can change in a month.

our county health department is meeting today on schools and dd's school admin I was talking to today said that he yelled at our county the other day on their call so my guess is my county will be going virtual Pistol you said that you are starting school now right? We don't have our packets yet and wont get them for another week or so but I am thinking of making dd start with some of the workbooks and writing again. Not in a you must do it but hopefully fun to get her back into the mindset.

I am a terrible person because I sort of wish he hadn't gotten this information until after meeting Trump. If Trump escapes and never gets it that seems like pure bullshit.

I forgot to tell you all SO went to a sports bar after work Tuesday with some guys and he said about 9:30 people came in with masks on wearing suits and taping the place looking for people not wearing masks. He said they were sitting but many that were standing at the bar were not so they all got kicked out. so the bar commission is out there
