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. I agree. My kid loves other kids and basketball and dance she does so we play basketball at home. Do dance parties and she has a more active FaceTime and text chains than me

I saw a tweet the other day that said "I'm not buying into the false dichotomy. I can support student mental health and be genuinely concerned about social isolation but also support schools shifting back into virtual / remote learning. I can care about mental health and physical health at the same time."
I will get the vaccine when it's available. I know someone who works for the FDA and there aren't any shortcuts or work arounds being taken. The same was not said back in the spring when Dewine called out the FDA for not approving the mask cleaning thing and then Trump got involved and it was all of the sudden approved. Or however that happened.
It's much easier for everyone to quickly shift 7-12 to remote learning. Most don't need childcare, already have devices, and use devices to complete assignments. It's much easier for teachers to transition their instruction to a virtual model in the older grades. But, yeah, maybe we should, as a country, acknowledge that we're in the middle of a pandemic and things are not normal and schools should be closed and people should work from home whenever possible.

I made a Dewine in a Pine ornament for our Christmas tree. We needed a laugh here.

So I had to have my pre op covid test this morning and had a drive up appointment at the Clinic. It was very busy. They have an impressive set up, but man it was a lot of cars. In my trips for other appointments I haven't seen cars lined up like this since the spring. Now granted I usually am up there on week days, but I can't imagine that would make a huge difference. It was a little unnerving.

So mom has been symptomatic pretty much since dad tested positive. She initially tested negative but today tested positive. Does her 2 week quarantine start over? She's fever free but still has cough, congestion, etc. Do her 2 weeks start over?

She's fever free but still has cough, congestion, etc. Do her 2 weeks start over? They told us the quarantine starts over based on the new person's first symptom, and that it's 10 days not 14 now 🤷♀️ 4of the 5 people in our house are presumed positive. They didn't feel the need to put my 3 yo and 7 month old tbrough testing. My 5 year old is the only one symptom free. It ends up being over 3 weeks at home for us. Luckily we're all pretty mild. The baby has it the worst.

This just feels unsafe.

My anti mask xsil, and her daughters have Covid. Luckily xh is smart enough not to be in contact with her, but xfil is getting sick now and they do occasionally see him. So freaking annoying.

One of the major hospitals near me is full. The doctors have been told to cancel all elective surgeries including those of early cancer patients and other life threatening diseases. This is straight from multiple doctors twitter accounts. I'm not sure how to embed the tweets here. You can see them at @syedaahmad5.

DH just told me they canceled elective surgeries but didn’t mention early cancer patients and others. My (step) grandpa passed away yesterday and because of all the dumb fucks I can’t go be with family. They are in PA so it’s only a super small service, but I’m still so so pissed. I’m tired of people being so damn selfish and not giving a damn.

The only thing we are doing is parks and grocery stores and PRAYING that daycare stays open... but I feel like it’s just a ticking time bomb at this point.

I think I'm done going into stores unless absolutely necessary.
I was going to sign up for the free 6 month Shipt thing from Target that expired today but now it says unavailable 😭

I've barely started but it will be 99% amazon and 1% dirtbike shit that will also be ordered in.

It's been forever since I've seen it happen but I'm half hoping the snow causes a level 3 to at least make people stay home one day. It won't happen though. I can all but guarantee that.

Dd and I went out Friday to Barnes and noble and Justice because they are where we can get in and out. B&N wasn't busy, but Justice was packed and no one was at the door. Also the mall parking lot was completely full when we drove past.

I did get my hair cut on Saturday, but my salon has been amazing with their precautions. Kroger had a security guard at the door this past weekend when I went but they hardly ever do or say anything.
