    Sadly, I haven't found any online French Immersion here in BC. I'm worried that if I teach her from home she won't be at the same level as students who hear and learn French for 5 hours a day and won't qualify for grade 5 next year. Maybe I should discuss this with the principal?

    On the plus side, online schools are free here.

    I tell you whats not cool this nurse is coming  today to do our test nd antibody bloods.  But get this.
    They cannot tell us if we do have anti bodies because we may go out and cause a spike????? Wtaf is the  point of not telling someone who cant leave their  house because of fear. Fuck sake im about done with all this bollocks. So i will have to use the  money i get to go to  clinic and have a test which someone with chronic health anxiety  is never going to do.utter bullshit

    Local lockdowns are becoming common here now. And schools go back in 1 week.

    The local health department reports 16 outbreaks in our county due to high school sports, but won't disclose the high schools involved. They did state some schools have multiple outbreaks, taking sometimes more than one of the 16 outbreaks. 17 districts in the county, with multiple high schools within the Akron Public Schools. WTF? School starts back here in a week +. Disclose which schools are having issues. :angry:

    Agree.  Not disclosing makes no sense to me.

    The Culinary Arts program has it going on though:

    We are excited to meet your student in Culinary Arts!  It has been ever changing, but we are preparing for an engaging and safe classroom setting.  I have attached  the Safety Protocols we will be using in class to keep everyone safe.  Should you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.  

    In order to maintain social distancing in the lab, Culinary Arts will be following a hybrid schedule divided by school verses alphabet.  We will begin meeting the week of August 31st and will see your student  on either the M,T rotation in school or the Th, Fr rotation in school.  The other three days will be varied learning objectives online.  

    Monday, Tuesday (Morning)

    Wednesday - No Students  (will use this day for supply pick up)

    Thursday, Friday  (Morning)

    We will be having your student conduct a home inventory of equipment in the first week of school.  There may be times that we ask students to do a lab at home.  Once we determine what equipment is had, we will supplement with equipment that can be returned at the end of the school year.  Our plan as of now is to also provide supplies for labs.  We will need to know if you are able to pick up these supplies preferably on Wednesday.  

    I know there are a lot of questions and we will do our best to answer them!  We will spend our time at school in the lab.  This is what our students enjoy most.  I am excited to meet everyone!!

    I don’t think the kid can play hockey this season. The league is running, but there’s really no way to avoid each other in hockey. Plus, both of her practice rinks are in high-risk cities.

    That sucks, kids should be able to do stuff like that when they love it.  
    However, I think it is a straight decision to make, knowing a few of your factors.
    Sorry for her.  Fucking Covid.

    I think we can get her stick-and-helmet ice time with friends/former teammates at less risky rinks, but it certainly won’t be the same. 

    My wife hasn’t come to the light on this yet, but it’s only a matter of time. If I think she’s being willfully ignorant out of love for the kiddo, I guess I’ll have to step in and lay out the facts. 

    We had 431 new cases in Massachusetts yesterday.

    We had 431 new cases in Massachusetts yesterday. 
    On more than 26,000 tests, positivity rate around 1.6%, 14 day average has been at about 1.4% ever since that small blip up to 2% when you posted that Globe article. Can't look strictly at that one number, especially not for 1 single day
    Plus 49 less people hospitalized on same day as those 431 cases reported . We have 315 folks in hospital state wide and 50 in ICU, health care system is in fine shape.
    Today only 109 new cases reported cause of some weekend upgrade by the DPH so it wasn't full 24 hours of Friday in the dashboard.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    New evidence demonstrates that an individual had two separate infections from Covid-19, involving different strains. However, he was not symptomatic with the second infection, suggesting that he did have effective immunity.

    Naturally most of the headlines out there yesterday left that part out.  That's actually really good news but the media can't help but sensationalize it and try to scare the shit out of everyone.

    It's a shame that Van Morrison is apparently a science denier

    People keep testing positive but deaths and hospitalizations are really low.

    This virus may have made it's rounds and the deaths may not be coming back in full swing like they were a few months ago.  I see that as a good thing.
