so the normal. I don't know why he is adding in press conferences when he isn't saying anything. Seems like a waste of his time too The only thing I can think of with this one is that they are clearing out 12k cases tomorrow so trying to avoid a huge panic when that all hits on one lump. At this point I think all of us will just be:

So I guess not an official summons. Just the hey you're on call for this year even though they sent me the postcard like 3 months ago? Also, if I want to claim at risk then I need my cardiologist to write a note.

A few things were out of stock at Meijer from my order, but overall I'm pleased with the process. I might never go in a store again 😬

I might never go in a store again 😬 I'm already missing my grocery delivery I did while in quarantine. I the W+ right before the free trial ended so that I didn't have to pay $100/year or whatever but I'm starting to think it's worth it.

I'm still irritated the Shipt offer from Target wasn't actually available when I tried to redeem it. I think Meijer will deliver but I'll probably try Aldi pickup next.

Our district opted for grades 7-12 to go all remote starting tomorrow. They announced this last night.
My kids will stay hybrid. They say the attendance for both students and staff at the elementary level has been very good, and the number of cases in those schools have been low (there have been 2 at my kids' school this entire year so far).
I'm actually pretty surprised at the FB comments; a lot of parents are basically saying it was overdue for them to go virtual. Of course a handful of people yelling about how no one's getting an education.
They are still aiming for a Jan 11th 5 day return, which is laughable.

It all feels eerily similar to last March when they closed schools for a few weeks which turned into .... a lot longer than that. We opted for virtual learning so it doesn’t affect us either way but things just feel very bleak, currently.

I am anticipating the elementary kids to go that route soon, but the county health department really just recommended the older grades to scale back. With some warning time, our house can make all virtual work. But I'd be pissed if I was a high school/middle school parent and got basically 1 day notice. Not to mention that half the district goes to school on Thursdays/Fridays, so they can't even go to get supplies... The Monday/Tuesday crew gets to take everything home today.

We're already remote but the school decided to extend remote until Christmas break. More cases with staff members, not enough coverage. It's fine. Everything is fine.

Did we all see that UofM had an outbreak and the OSU vs. UofM game is canceled?

25,721 cases today which includes the 12,600 backlog. So does this mean without the backlog cases were around 13,000?
657 hospitalizations
81 deaths

I know the numbers were supposed to be bad today due to the backlog of approx 13,000 released, but this is insane:
25,721 cases 81 deaths 657 hospital 67 ICU

my older sister said that her aunt (we have different fathers) was in the hospital with what the family thinks is covid though her daughter wont tell anyone the results because they are 90% sure she got it from her and her family at Thanksgiving

I think the Jan 11th date is mostly hoping to combat any potential outbreak that would come after all the assholes that are going to travel over break, although it'll be interesting to see how many people would just extend their visits because they have enough PTO, are already working remotely, etc

Yikessss to all of it.

Yikessss to all of it. I thought about it but they announced that it would happen yesterday so would they have known that today's number would be high? The hospitals don't report the numbers until like 10 am or something day of, right?

My sister's test results came back negative but she still feels like shit and has all the classic symptoms. Work told her she doesn't need to retest and can come back after she's fever free for 24hrs 🤦♀️
I've heard so many anecdotal stories of people testing negative after symptoms start and being retested a few days later with a positive result. We need better testing.

We need better testing. My mom was negative. Then 2 weeks later she retested to see if she could go out since she still had a cough and stuff. I think she planned on it being negative still and just a head cold. It was positive but since it had been 10+ days since symptoms started she was cleared to go out and about. But if she had just gone by the initial test she would have been spreading covid all over town!

Testing here is still a mess. My neighbor was tested last Tuesday and got her positive result today (over a week later wtf). She’s been texting me everyday since she’s older and lives alone. I’ve been porch dropping soup for her. She’s still so sick.

My friend tested negative then subbed at the school. Tested again a week later and was positive, so the entire class had to quarantine. I don’t really trust negative tests.
