Yes, it's old. But it still made the hair on the back of this neck stand up LOL. You think that this whole thing kicked off rationed health care? Or could this example from this particular tweet have just been an isolated incident?From March 16, 2020
In my eyes apples and oranges comparison - a 1 hour dinner encounter with one or two students for a few minutes to take their order and serving it to being in the same room 5 days a week for 8 hours a day with 30+ students.Are you seeing the disconnect here? She's more than willing to go to a place to eat with her students serving her but lord no, the idea of teaching?
It's interesting that lots of teachers now suddenly claim that their immune systems are "absolutely shot". One, they certainly never mentioned anything like that before. And two, if that is the case, if their immune systems are shot, as they put it, what were they doing teaching in the first place? The disconnect seems to be getting bigger and bigger.Six of us went out last night for a quick bite/drink. One of our group is a local math teacher and has been adamant about not wanting to return to school for fear of her health.
As the night went on she pointed out four of the people working there telling us "they are in my classes." As it ends up, she and her "beau" had been to this place about a dozen times over the last few weeks.

And in one instance, eating out, there is no social distancing, mask, etc. In the other (school) it's mandated with seats already spaced and schedules being adjusted.In my eyes apples and oranges comparison - a 1 hour dinner encounter with one or two students for a few minutes to take their order and serving it to being in the same room 5 days a week for 8 hours a day with 30+ students.
While I'm being a little facetious here, and this is certainly a matter of constant debate across the aisles, how badly will we see some melt down if this were something everyone could take advantage of for their children. I don't know...something like school vouchers.A Christian school near me, which has an existing K-12 enrollment, is adding 22 teachers for the fall due to a surge in enrollments. Parents who can are voting with their feet to get in-person instruction.
You added some new info. That is certainly a disconnect. So in the school case precautions are being followed but in the social setting they are not.there is no social distancing, mask, etc.
Exactly, and that was my point in the first place. I should have shared more detail in the first post.So in the school case precautions are being followed but in the social setting they are not.
That's the thing here with me and it's been that way since day one. I know I've said this a dozen times or more. The "wash your hands, don't touch your face, don't get close to people you aren't familiar with, etc." These are everyday practices with me and have been since I was old enough to play outside as a kid.The litmus test for me is how much time will I be in a setting and are precautions being followed? Also, how widespread are the cases in your area. All if this is about risk management which for most is low.
From what I have heard, the county I reside in (Shelby) is on a "places to watch" or some such list at the White House. So...my question is, what do they do if the things that they are watching for (whatever that may be) happen? Do they ramp up testing sites in the county? Give Shelby Medical in Alabaster more funds?
I understand this point also. A lot of mistakes being made but I do not throw out all numbers because of some reported mistakes. I also look at more than one report. Now if they are all getting info from the same place well then I am probably getting fooled.I'll admit, I'd look at it skeptically.
