H had ordered a turkey from a local farm that has a butcher shop and restaurant. We hadn’t been there in a very long time. To his surprise when he went to pick it up they are an anti-mask establishment. Not a single mask on any person there besides my H. He was horrified to say the least. And he said they were packed. He ended up looking them up on Facebook and the comments are how they are the real patriots and not putting up with the BS, yadda yadda yadda.
This year sucks and I hate people.

My heart hurts thinking about how many have lost family members this year. We are going into the holidays missing so many and it's just getting worse.

Our county is requiring grades 7-12 be virtual starting Dec. 4th through january 11th. K-6 can go in school.
I don't get what the difference is?

Those numbers are horrifying. Are they some of the not certified ones?
DD and I got take out from BW3 yesterday and the parking lot was packed and we watched (we were in the car waiting for our curbside) many people going in and out. They were masked but it was still a ton of people.
I am nervous for the bars today since it is the annual go out preThanksgiving day

Probably a rhetorical question but what is so dang hard about staying at home? It’s ONE Thanksgiving. It’s not forever.

Our district has been doing that until we got our star. Now the plan is everyone remote until January at the earliest. I think because elementary students don't switch classes it's easier to track and keep spread small. They were quarantining by classroom, then school building when needed. Of course this doesn't spread at school, just social gatherings after school, right?

H has his test finally today, but 4 of the 5 of us are sick. I called our pediatrician because our 7 month old seems to be the sickest. The nurse said we might be looking at quarantining until basically christmas if our oldest starts showing symptoms because were starting our tine over starting yesterday. I started crying.
Working fulltime, homeschooling, running a household and caring for 3 under 5 without help is impossible.

I guess I didn't think of that because even the elementary kids here will switch some and aren't, but this makes sense.

In the tweet from DeWine there is still the disclaimer that the data is incomplete and also includes tests from their backlog so who knows what the actual numbers are just from yesterday to today and how much of it is backlog.

MH went to pick up a part for his lawnmower yesterday from a supply store and all 3 employees inside had no masks. I just don't get the stupid. I reported them to the health department and we won't be back. I have no more fucks to give.

In our school district specifically the cases are minimal in the elementary schools. There have been 4 cases so far this year at DD's school out of about 600 kids plus staff. The MS is a little worse, but the HS has had a ton of cases with hundreds of quarentines. DeWine had mentioned following school cases and I wonder if this is a trend they've noticed state wide.

I want to laugh at the ridiculousness but also cry because so many are still going to get together in giant crowds like usual.

8 orange. 11 on the watch list. 4 purple. Everyone else is red. I figured we wouldn't actually see the whole state red. Now I'm scared we're gonna see all purple.

Parents were protesting the school closures here and I just it’s basically 3 weeks when you add in the Christmas break
They are saying it is detrimental to the students mental health

One is forever. The other is short term. Pick your poison. I also wish we could work on reframing this whole mental health conversation as the counter argument to closing schools or canceling kids sports. Like you said Pistol, the affects of grief are extremely challenging for kids, especially if the adults around them are struggling as well. I also think that if (general) we could work harder on how we message this - work on talking to kids about yes its hard, yes it sucks, but we are doing this to help everyone, it's not forever, etc, and get creative with how to help during this time that it would be better for everyone. And I know there are kids having issues that need help, but I also suspect that some of this may be making things that were already present more apparent, so maybe the issue is mental health care overall.

The grief part is something that so many are ignoring. My DS lost his father at a young age. That grief is forever. We are very sensitive to the fact that our behavior now could have permanent consequences to someone we love or someone else’s loved one.
We’ve focused on virtual visits, deliveries and other ways to stay connected. DS is participating in so many zoom classes (art, theater, etc). He’s embraced his online school life and I think it’s in large part how we’ve framed it for him.

Exactly. I know this may sound bad and I don’t mean to because I know the mental health struggle is a very real thing, but parents put to much into socializing and sports into mental health for the kids (which I know helps) when they need to be working with their kids in ways to maintain their mental health themselves which is a skill that will be needed their whole lives.

I know kids do better with other kids and all but in today's world there are so many options for socializing. One year of virtual socialization won't hurt a kid. The "kids need school" and "kids can't learn at home" really chaps my ass too because there are plenty of people who are homeschooled their whole k-12 life and go on to be successful both professionally and socially! I can see a parent say "my kid needs to be in school because he/she just doesn't do well with virtual/distance learning" because know your kid and all. But don't generalize it and say all kids need to be in school. I know its me feeling attacked when people aren't talking at me but it makes me feel less than because I chose to homeschool from the get go this year and may continue.
