I just heard from my director that the Ohio Dept of Health has directed schools to have anyone who travels quarantine from school for two weeks. Seems like maybe they should have schools closed for the time being. I'm so so sick of people saying that a few months of a child's education is more valuable than my life. They cannot control what people are doing outside of work. And people aren't hiding what they're doing. Going to funerals and posting about hugging relatives from out of state that they had never met before. Talking about planning an in person Christmas party for a grade level - and needing to know soon because their calendar is filling up. And then they walk around with their masks under their noses. It is so exhausting to battle this anxiety. Especially when everyone (smart people who understand how diseases work) says that we should only leave the house if we absolutely have to. That we should not be around anyone from outside of our household. Yet, let's put people from hundreds of different households in the same building and hope for the best. Education is essential to a normal society. We cannot act like without education (the way we're used to with things changed a bit due to the pandemic which actually makes our bad education system worse) we will die. And people talk about others' mental health and suicides rising due to the pandemic. No one is caring about my mental health. But we know that we only care about mental health when it can be a talking point to support your political agenda. Sorry for the rant.

This is why I almost wish he would shut down the schools. We’ve been doing ok, but now that the school is virtual for a couple weeks she is doing even better because she is getting “classroom” time

I wonder what he’s planning? Gyms and bars/restaurants to be shut down? I honestly don’t think that will be enough. What will be enough? I have no clue. But based on behaviors around here I know people won’t comply and it will continue to get worse. We had all kinds of activities here this weekend and apparently a revival is happening in a few weeks as well.

Fuuuuck. My anxiety is not looking good. Trying to place a grocery order and Walmart is out of milk. I haven't made it much further to see what the rest of the inventory looks like.

I did an instacart order today and got everything, so I’m thinking positive for you. That included flour and yeast, which I was surprised I got.

I really need to meal plan to figure out the rest of what I need. I just know we need milk. We go through about 3 gallons a week.

I guess with bars, but I see our restaurants just as packed and they mostly closed by 10 anyway. I ran to Target yesterday to pick up a gift and the parking lot was packed as was the five below and old navy next to it. I am hoping that people are masked and keeping distance I just don't buy it

Me either. I truly think a lot of people (read: idiots) either don't think they can get it, don't care if they get it (because it will be a mild case, dontcha know) or even if a loved one gets it. There's no other explanation. I mean, basically much of America has turned into the human version of this:

I placed a pickup order for Meijer, supposed to be ready between 2-3. FX I get everything, but we mostly just need milk too. Just the kids go through at least half a gallon a day 😩

I can't remember if I posted before, but my health care worker sister likely has it, she's waiting on her results but feels awful and can't smell or taste anything. It's really validated our refusal to go visit them for Thanksgiving. She started feeling crappy Thur night and thinks she got it from a nurse she rounded with Mon, who probably got it from a patient that lied about their positive status the week before 🤦♀️ Seems like a shorter inoculation period than we've been seeing though so who knows if her speculation is accurate.

Soo it looks like I'm getting a jury summons. Normally, I would happily go do my civic duty. But in the times of covid, can I get out of it for homeschooling the kids? Claim sole care provider? I really don't want to go sit in the courthouse with people. And we aren't even seeing family right now so H would have to take a day off of work for this. If we could be a jury via zoom that would be fantastic. 🤣

And since we aren't doing contact tracing anymore, we are now relying on the patient to be honest and let others know. Total bs. ETA- I hope your sister's case is mild and she doesn't get too bad.

OH is pretty strict about it 😔 You could probably try calling though and see what they say.

I’ve been summoned twice (pre-covid) since my kids were born and I’ve always been able to write in saying I’m their care provider bc we didn’t have any day care. It hasn’t been an issue. I would definitely try!
