betty , any word on that last minute meeting? It was just to warn them that we’re going purple but no plans to go remote. Ugh. The super said that sometimes DeWine tells them one thing on the phone and then doesn’t follow through during the pressers so he wasn’t sure if DeWine would actually call us purple. FTR, none of that makes sense to me. I'm really hoping the county health dept will force them to go remote.

He is very much all over the place which they said is a huge difference from March which we can see as well.

I am so surprised that we are not purple or even starred because our health department keeps talking about how bad we are. I'm trying to figure out how Franklin got off the watch list. The pesky college kids went home.

Heard from a health dept source that the Ohio Dept of Health is not planning on changing quarantine times that the CDC recently reduced to 7-10 days. So that should mean all schools will still follow the 14 days from exposure date. They feel it was politically motivated and not based on science.

My friend works for our local health department and said there are only 140 ICU beds left in the entire state. And it’s only going to get worse.

I can tell things are getting worse. I was trying to put in a grocery order yesterday morning and Walmart had no delivery or pick up slots for today. A few weeks ago I could place an order at 6AM and pick up at 3pm.

Just got a text that the middle and high schools are going remote Monday in DS’s district. They’ve had a lot of cases and quarantined so I’m relieved.

Watching the presser. The dr is talking about quarantine. If I heard right, he mentioned the new CDC guidance. Says 14 days is still recommended for places where Covid can spread extensively. Says the new CDC guidance is good for places like classrooms where masks and distancing are in place.
Hmmm. What about classrooms where there are masks but not really distancing? Apparently the Ohio Dept Health changed their stance from what I heard yesterday.

Talking about vaccines. 12/15 Phase 1A - priories not in order-healthcare workers and personnel involved in Covid care, EMS responders, vulnerable people who live together in close proximity and those who care for them (includes residents and staff at nursing homes, asst living, state psych hospitals, intellectual disabilities in group homes and centers, homes for Ohio veterans.
Still waiting for confirmation for what will be sent out in the month of December. We will not know for sure until we’re notified a few days before we get them. Pfizer-9,750 to hospitals, 88,725 to Walgreens/cvs for congregate care settings 12/22-201,000 from Moderna to 98 hospitals, 108 health departments (distr to EMS, home health care workers, etc) 12/22-123,00 from Pfizer to Walgreens/CVS nursing homes and staff A few days later- 148, 000 Pfizer, 89,000 moderna
The second and third shipments from both companies have not been confirmed yet. They will not be holding back half of the shipments for people’s second doses 3-4 weeks later.

it was politically motivated and not based on science. Covid response in general.

I had to file something for DH at the courthouse in the bigger town close to us. I drove by the mall and it looked like a normal Christmas season—so many people.

I went to pick up something and soooo many people are out shopping 🤦♀️ I'm going to place a grocery pickup order for Monday. I'm definitely avoiding going anywhere I possibly can.

I don't trust that everyone is telling my parents they should be safe for 90 days since they are recovered from covid. That doesn't sound like science. The CDC all but says you can't get it for 3 months but then says if you become symptomatic and cannot rule out other illnesses then retest and follow quarantine rules if positive. Soooooo there is a chance you can get it again??

I ran into Aldi really quick for a couple of things and loudly told the boys to keep there distance because "that guy isn't wearing his mask right". Fuck him. It was on his chin. Not even attempting to wear it right. I'm not even sorry.

Maybe a little pushback from the community would make them shape up (unlikely I know)

Soooooo there is a chance you can get it again?? My sil said she had it in July and was recovered by late July. She is in the healthcare field and gets tested for work and in August the day before my shower she was told she had tested positive again. She claims they couldn’t say if she still just had traces in her or if she had caught it again.

Which is why they say don't even test for 3 months after a confirmed case. My mom said my aunt told her that OSU won't test for 3 months after a confirmed case.
