I don't believe our numbers for a second. I guarantee they are posting lower numbers than they are.

My area has just a hair under 40% positivity. Plus our superintendent of education and her family just tested positive. Yikes. That area of SC is... woof. Wow.

fancynewbeesly, I think the CDC lets your daughter out of isolation early if she gets tested on day 7 and gets a negative test (and is symptom-free), so if your school is following their guidelines maybe your quarantine can start and end 3 days earlier?

Our district isn’t following that. You can’t test negative to get out of quarantine. I asked. 😂 I am talking to our nanny now. It literally is a mess. The girls and I miss her so much. They FaceTimed her yesterday.

Nope. I asked it about her. They won’t accept a negative test.

No, this isn’t a thing. That is only for contacts of positives. Positives are isolated for 10 days minimum regardless

Maybe us being stuck in perpetual quarantine is a blessing. But I am so SO tired of being the only one working on the group project. Eta: not the superintendent, it makes me not a good human but I am ok with it atm. I will atone for it later, right now I am all up in my feelings.

That part of the state is currently doing the best. I mean, it’s still S.C., but the part sctiger is in is really far from you, and it’s been consistently the most Covid cases per 100k since August.

So far we are lucky and through all of this have not had any known exposures but damn there are some shitty people.

I am hoping that when the presidential administration changes over in a couple of weeks we get some organization and ramp up vax programs. I know it won’t happen overnight but maybe this spring. They need to hire people trained to give shots. Which takes $ for pay Plus training. And more ppe. If they could get all the nursing students nationwide in on this, they usually are taught how to wear ppe, hand hygiene, hippa stuffs, and how to give shots in block 1. They arent certified in anything yet but if they counted it towars clinical hours they might not even have to pay them. Probably in school emts and paramedics too. Maybe this is a regional issue but lack of nurses is not the issue in this area.

NJ isn’t vaccinating high risk until group 1C. And so far we are still on group 1A, which in NJ includes healthcare workers plus all congregate care settings (nursing homes, prisons, psychiatric facilities, etc.). 1B is frontline essential workers and 65+. At the rate we are going I don’t expect to get vaccinated for a long time This is so different here.
I know now if you have a medical condition that puts you at risk you can get it and it's been that way for at least a week.

I had a student inform me today that he was exposed 9 days ago. His mom plans to get him tested tomorrow. I am so frustrated with people.
He was sent home soon after I alerted the principal.

I'm pretty sure lack of nurses is a problem here. I saw an article saying they are hiring traveling nurses and willing to pay like $4K/week or something. I don't think the nurses already working there are getting nearly that...

I totally believe that. Especially here in CA- you can't just book a hotel right now for funsies, I don't even know what the requirements are. I would assuming traveling nurses is something that would make booking a hotel okay.

I know this because H tried to book a hotel for him and DD1 to go skiing this weekend, and his request automatically got cancelled due to Newsom's order. He was able to book an Airbnb, though.

Different areas are doing different things. Truckee had AirBnb and hotels block all holiday reservations, but I know that South Lake hasn't....Motel 6 parking lot was completely full - and I can guarantee it wasn't all "essential" workers. 🙄

Maybe it's town specific? They cited Newsom's order, so I assumed it was statewide, but perhaps not. It's also not a holiday weekend, so maybe that makes a difference.

It is supposed to be statewide mandate but local officials are choosing NOT to enforce it certain places. I know we're on a state border, but tourists were out of control this weekend.

Our county sheriff's office put out a message to be extra careful while driving, climbing ladders, etc. because you will have to be transported very far to get hospital treatment.

I am hoping Big Bear isn't too bad... they will be in their own space, and DD1 is going to ski school, but they are only doing half day and everything is outside (not indoor lunch or anything, as they usually have). Everything will be masked and outdoors, and they won't be doing anything other than going skiing. DD2 and I aren't going. Not like I can ski anyway.

Pretty sure Big Bear is San Bernadino county, which has chosen not to enforce stuff. H knows well enough to leave if things look bad.

Travel nurses are making fucking bank this year. Some areas don’t have nurses, some have an overflow and sending people home. Some are quitting their jobs and doing travel jobs bc the amount of money they make in one week is like my entire month’s salary, no joke. It’s insane.
Training and teaching people how to give the shots is not the issue. Neither is ppe- gloves & mask is all you need for giving shots. Training takes all of 5 minutes. It’s not rocket science.

A lot of women in the debt free community take nursing or are nurses and the crazy amounts they’re making as travel nurses right now makes my mouth water. I am seeing $4-7k per week in their posts about it.
