Illinois friends: IDPH and Illinois BOE both released statements that they will follow the guidelines for schools the CDC released today. Well shit. Hopefully my kids' building will still require masks. It's prek-3rd, so none of the kids will be eligible. They do share a cafeteria with the HS though.

clucky , I've known too many people that got hit with covid like that recently. It's still pretty bad on some people. And it's not cause the hospitals are overwhelmed or don't know how to treat the best possible way.

I was unhappy to hear that my employer is both pushing for a quick return to work and has been implying they will can anyone not getting vaccinated.
Except as it turns out, that doesn't apply to my location, which IS open to non-vaccinated folks. And they sent an email at 4:59 today informing us that we are to return NEXT WEEK with info on whether we are supposed to be in M/W or T/Th. This in the midst of the delta variant being in the news all damn week as covid numbers increase. I have 2 kids who are not yet eligible for vaccination so they can fuck right off with that. I am livid.

CA dept of public health is requiring children to wear masks in schools. This has been the plan in our school district for the fall, but I'm thrilled to see it's statewide. Once young kids can be vaxxed (and they have time to do so), I'll be even more thrilled to see the mandate lifted.

Even though our school district said this would be the case in the fall, I was worried parents would object so this makes me feel better.

I know they would never do it but I almost wish they could have one class per grade for the kids whose parents want them in masks. We have 8-9 classes per grade. I have no idea what goes in to deciding what kids go to what class so I'm sure its impossible but man it would be nice. Maybe it's flameful but ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ Since they won't be doing virtual anymore I feel like there is no good choice for people who want to be cautious still. It freaking sucks. This is actually a great idea and should be doable at the elementary level

Argh. Read these two things back to back and this is frustrating and bad. We are witnessing why they said we need 70+% vaccination levels.

Iโm so sorry for everyone dealing with shit. School shit, family being sick shit, work being assholes shit.
One, possibly two of our vaccinated docs on my unit got covid. I need to get tested tomorrow. We also have a fucking flu outbreak on my unit. We have no idea where it came from but we have several babies that all have influenza.
Iโm a walking stressball. Iโm so worried I got covid and will pass it to DS or my parents (who are visiting), or even the flu. Ughhh
