Because of the increase in cases they are asking employers to look and see if they can go remote again and continue for those already working from home. They will lead by example by doing so with state employees. Originally state employees were to start returning to the office on 1/4 but that has now been put on hold.

Hard to watch. Been a big learning curve to see how quickly people deteriorate. They may be barely on oxygen to an ICU bed in a matter of hours. No magic bullet to treat it.

Seems to be a lot of check in with this person for this and that person for that. Why didn't this just wait until tomorrow?

Reported asked what his plans are for the next few weeks and mentioned lock downs.
He said lock downs are detrimental, mental health, suicides and ODs go up. Then he said that we pulled back for thanksgiving and pulled back for the day after Thanksgiving. Didn't see as much movement for those as they normally do. Must not have been in my area then. 🙄

Our work has already said that unless he closes the campus down people are required to be at work because it is detrimental to the students to not have us on campus. Nevermind we aren't supposed to be meeting them in person we should be there.
Now my boss is amazing and got us to do only certain hours on campus but still

Mike is asking about advice for those who were stupid (he didn't say that) and traveled over Thanksgiving. A: Their risk is already there. But they need to be as safe as possible now. Possibly taking extra time from work to quarantine. Even if you went to a large family gathering you are still taking the risk of contracting. He's only saying to really limit your contacts for the next 5-7 days? I think you usually become symptomatic within 3-5 days of exposure, so by waiting 5-7 you'd probably be able to rule out contracting it. Who knows? The advice changes all the time, and let's be honest, someone who traveled or went to a large gathering are the same assholes who were crowding up Kohls on Friday and will absolutely not hang low for a week.

My dad tested positive yesterday. Hoping his symptoms stay mild and that mom miraculously avoids it. Also SUPER GLAD we stuck to just our little family of 4 for Thanksgiving.

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. I want to get mine done in case of another shut down and my place has done well too, but I also know this is their busy time and that is giving me pause Mine was surprisingly not that busy on Saturday. It looks like a few stylists may have left, some of the tables that are normally occupied were cleared out.

My boss mentioned a couple of weeks ago that he doesn't expect us to be back in the office until at least summer 2021, and then probably some hybrid schedule.

I hate to say it but so far I'm not seeing anything all that extreme like people were saying. Cringey? Yes. True? Also yes. Sadly, I know way too many families like this one. I went to school with the kids that had parents like this. Hell, I know a woman who looks exactly like the grandma.

Like, it's still part of our family history even though we may not live there anymore. IDK how else to phrase it. Maybe it seems "extreme" to people who aren't from there.

Our high school is remote today because of high quarantine and case numbers. We got a text last night. Today the school covid dashboard shows 137 quarantined and 6 active cases out of about 550-600 kids. And well most likely turn purple this week. I have no idea why all the schools here are still in person 5 days a week. It’s only going to get worse with thanksgiving numbers.

Maybe it seems "extreme" to people who aren't from there. My family is more alcohol but I definitely still relate to parts of it. Someone in another thread said that Appalachian people have said they felt they took the extreme example but I just don't see it. The stories I could tell about where I grew up/live. Honestly, some of the stuff from this movie is why we moved from where we were back to town.

So one of my recovery nurses was telling that the half of the rooms in her unit are being converted to ICU rooms by next. She didn't say if that was happening campus wide but she said it's getting really tight at the Clinic in general. Then the shift change on my floor was not the typical one I'm used to from the Clinic. They also hadn't completely finished processing me so another nurse ended up coming in to handle that. Between covid and the snow I think they are really short staffed.

gymngemini, I hope everything went well and that you're heading home soon. It must be concerning to be there and seeing the effects of covid on the hospital firsthand.

gymngemini, I hope everything went well and that you're heading home soon. It must be concerning to be there and seeing the effects of covid on the hospital firsthand. Thank you so much! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will get to go home today. It was weird hearing it directly from someone who is going through so far. All of the nurses were talking about who was going to volunteer to shift to ICU and who wasn't sure. Then my first night nurse was actually an oncology nurse from a different floor who got asked to come down until another nurse could get here. I'm sure some of that is common but in all my stays I hadn't seen that. But we also got at least a foot of snow yesterday so that had to factor in as well. I hope you and your family are all feeling better and that you oldest stayed healthy too. You had some on your plate to juggle!
