JimmyV said:63 million Americans voted for Donald Trump. If we are judging people, they deserved to be judged for that.
Oh, for sure. You know I'm not a fan of Trump or people voting for Trump. I'm the guy who banned myself from these forums for 6 months for saying appropriate things to other forum members here who voted for Trump. If I'm being an asshole to people I think are assholes, that makes me an asshole too.

Because Team Trump Treason stole all the really good ones. Maybe Betsy has a plan for re-opening schools? Oh yea, right. Criticize all you want, at least DeBlasio is trying to figure it out.

Yep. Let’s pull kids out of classrooms and halt their education to slow the virus spread. Then, let’s throw them into day care with no educational value. Brilliant idea!pjl44 said:I need more details but if you're gonna close schools doing this seems patently insane on the surface

How do you feel about it? I don't envy you parents having to decide what to do.That’s probably the best way to approach it. I think about 25 pages back I suggested this format to what dreams.
I am concerned the big issue not many doctors are talking about are closed loop HVAC systems. The same air circulating through a building seems to be a bad idea. There must be some reason why Miami, Phoenix, LA and Houston are having a more difficult time than other cities.0 -
The hospital wants to do an autopsy on my Step Dad after potential organ harvesting in case they missed something. He tested negative for Covid-19 a few days ago, and they retested last night. They said his lungs looked similar to covid cases.I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef

had to go to the grocery store during peak time last week.Packed, could barely get around.Less than 5 percent wearing masks.Today i hear store is going mask required next week.I am going again late tonight, I expect it to be packed and empty shelves as non-maskers hoard.
The worst of times..they don't phase me,
even if I look and act really crazy.0 -
Couple weeks ago when the sun belt started its spike, I heard some expert talking about the "reverse summer effect", that instead of the heat and sunlight slowing/killing the virus like it does with the flu and most other similar viruses, those areas are so hot, it drove many folks indoors to air conditioned gathering spots and this virus just spreads like wildfire in that environment.Lerxst1992 said:mcgruff10 said:

They say airplanes have filters that can basically kill the virus, but air has to circulate in from outside through the system, not recirculate from within, and most buildings do not have outside air intake type systems.This weekend we rock Portland0 -

The windows don't open in my school either. The air coming out of the HVAC is filthy -- in normal times, the custodians wipe down the students' desks. They're fine. Every other surface is lined with a greasy dust. In our available forum to pose questions to the district, I asked where I could access an air quality report, and was reassured "our air is clean." Yeah right.mcgruff10 said:

@Lerxst1992, my division considered the alternating day you suggested. Every school division I know considered this format. We can't abide by CDC social distancing guidelines even at half capacity, and my district is not willing to take the liability risk by not complying with the guidelines. I personally was fully prepared to go back to school 100% and teach my students because these half week/rotating schedules coupled with online preparation/delivery are a teaching nightmare. They sound good to you. You don't do the job and have no idea what it will take for these teachers being asked to hold live classes and produce online learning at the same time. I really wish all those teachers the best. They will be completely maxed out, burnt out by the end of September. Coupled with the stress of teaching during a pandemic, they are being asked to do a double prep. That is why I rejected the "half ass" solution. For me, it was either 100% live or 100% online. I'm not superhuman.
In general, I'm sick of the "teachers don't want to work; fire them and get new teachers." I'm not saying anyone here is saying that. I just hear it everywhere else. Plenty of teachers are ready to do their jobs. We don't get to decide. We get told what to do and we do it.Post edited by what dreams on0 -
I just went to pick up a 4 pack of beer for the weekend. Same spot I’ve been going to for a long time that has strictly enforced masks throughout. It is also a taproom with indoor and outdoor seating. The place was packed and aside from one bartender there were zero people with masks on tonight. The door that opens up to the outside patio was closed so zero fresh air intake. Not sure what the fuck changed but I’ll be voicing my opinion to the owner when I see him.0

That sucks! I hope you got your beer. I'm not a heavy drinker but keep a couple of 12 packs around for safe measure!

“If you want to get away from Americans, you might” would also have been an acceptable answer.
