    Day 1 of Back to School - At home. We did 5 worksheets from a provincial website.
    I think for the remainder of the week we will stick to literacy (reading the book series I procured before X hit the fan) and numeracy (playing an online fun math game).
    I wonder what the kids' teacher is going to come up with asides from more planning work/stress?

    Also, I was thinking recently, that schooling from home does not have "class size" limitations, therefore one teacher could "teach" or plan for more than one class, which would reduce the numbers of teachers needed if this kept on for a while...

    Well, according to the very stable genius, Team Trump Treason extended the stay at home order until the end of April because your life will come back, even better than ever. Tremendous. Incredible. Amazing. And he cracked jokes that the wind was blowing his hair, which is real by the way. We have a 5th grader as POTUS. 3,000 Americans dead and he’s riffing about his hair.

    U.S. Rep. Ron Wright woke up Saturday morning with a fever and flu-like symptoms.

    The Arlington Republican had been in Washington, D.C., the day before, voting on the federal stimulus package known as the CARES Act. So he talked to his doctor and then headed to the Emergency Room.

    He went through five hours of various tests, including one for coronavirus.

    “On Sunday morning, I received the news that I thankfully tested negative for COVID-19 but do have a mild case of pneumonia,” Wright, 66, said in a prepared statement. “I never would have thought I’d be happy to hear a positive pneumonia diagnosis.”

    How is he getting test results for Covid-19 in one day? Everything I keep reading is around 5 days. Are you all hearing of such rapid results?

    Can you help home school my kids during the quarantine?  We can set up Skype, virtual classrooms, whatever you need! 

    Kidding, of course.  Sounds like you're doing an awesome job!  :)

    The best pillow ever is one you can make yourself.  Cut an old memory foam mattress topper into marble-sized chunks, stuff them into an old pillowcase and sew it shut.

    Yeah, the actual time it takes to complete the test is far less than 24 hours. Any additional time seen is going to be due to some sort of backlog, perhaps in techs to run the tests but more likely in access to the equipment on which to run the tests. Of course there is some prep time, then a bit of time to record and report the results.
