Sending lots of love to AmyG cp3 and easier. It’s hard to have it hit so close to home. Hope your loved ones can find some peace as they grieve.

Sending hugs to those who have suffered losses and those who are sick and have family and friends who are sick.

Our school district had 9 students who tested positive today. They aren't even closing any of the buildings for a day for cleaning. Guess ds will be virtual all year. 😬

What do we think about this change to CDC guidelines on quarantine duration? I don’t like it tbh. I think it’s fine for some people but there are enough cases that it’s not fine for that it makes me nervous.

My aunt was exposed yesterday at work. Her coworker was there working with her when he got the call he was positive. And he is symptomatic so she is trying to figure out the best day to get tested while also stressed about quarantining away from her young kids while she waits for test results which are currently taking 5 days. MH's cousins also lost their grandpa on Thanksgiving from Covid and my uncle lost his uncle last week from Covid as well. A few extended relatives have also tested positive this week. It's getting a lot closer to us and I am stressed. And just ugh. It didn't have to be this way. Ugh. I’m sorry. Why was he there while waiting for a test result??

I think it’s fine for some people but there are enough cases that it’s not fine for that it makes me nervous. I think if testing was rapid and available, it makes sense. I just don’t think that testing is fast enough with results AND I am totally in the trust no one world right now, so I’m skeptical. Is it worth it to reduce the quarantine time right at a time that cases are skyrocketing?

Ohh. I thought they got arrested in Hawaii. I’m glad they caught them in SF so people didn’t have to sit near them for 6 hours.

Thinking about the boarding process is giving me heart palpitations.

And she works at a grocery store and was pissed because they wouldn't help her clean and disinfect after he left. I've heard some stories about that particular grocery store and how they aren't fully following protocol and have had other outbreaks and it all just sucks. My aunt ended up giving her notice today because she doesn't feel safe working there.

Morning all. 16 more cases at my job yesterday. Also as if yesterday 1 county in the state is at 100% capacity for ICU beds. Why does it seem like we are doing nothing to st the tide right now? Serious this is a global issue and we to stop and make things work.
-Pause home loan, rent, mortgage payments -pause communications and utility payments. -People will now have money for food. -Issue a monthly stipend to everyone to survive. -Shut down all nonessential businesses for 2-4 weeks. -Relook at what essential is ( No church, tanning, gyms are not essential). -Keep everyone home. It worked before and it can work again.
We are now all prisoners not the flat Earthers now. And they aren't called they anymore, it is now the anti-maskers. And because of them we are trapped in this existence where we are doing the right thing and they are making us worse.
Argh

Holy crap, JukEboX - I'm so sorry there are so many outbreaks at your office - stay safe! <3 It always makes me angry when I stop and think about how differently things could have gone. 45 could have met this head on and had a strong response, but instead he chose himself and his friends in the stock market, dressed up in a racist and partisan blame-game. I'm so glad the Biden team is taking this seriously but I feel like the last 10 months have hampered things SO BADLY. (Dramatic understatement.)

This is just a terrible way to treat humans.

Here at my job people are getting tested and allowed to go back tow ork till they get their results. Why they are allowed to do that I don't freaking know. And if course they are doing that because they got rid of sick time and made that and vacation part of your PTO. And instead of giving you COVID time so you could wait at home for your results they moved the amount of negative PTO moved from -40 to -80. So you know if you survive or don't have COVID you have to pay all that time back.
