I'm still annoyed at how the charter pivoted from in person to distance before Thanksgiving. It was two support staff with positive cases. No teachers. No students. And suddenly we're in distance learning not for a 1 week quarantine or something like that, but until the end of the calendar year.

I'm convinced it was that they know in South OC there are going to be a bunch of people who are acting irresponsibly over the holidays and that they wanted to keep the kids away until that passed. 

But at least they're planning on being back in-person in January. 

Luckily my kids were engaged in the process during distance learning. It's not the same, but they're better than most regarding what they've gotten out of it. 

My kids didn't get shite out of the online experience and weren't engaged at all.  My normally active, interested, happy children became distant, sullen, morose.  It was heart-breaking.  Their grades were fine but they weren't really getting anything out of it.

They're both back to full time in-person, and the difference in their demeanor is like night and day.  But because their teachers are still supporting online learners, it's more for social reasons, than for scholastic ones.  I'd say they're still only getting maybe 50% of what they should be getting from full-time in-person teaching.  Which I guess is better than the 5% or less they got from online-only, but really not worth all of the effort and expense that everyone is going through to deliver that minimal value.

Sorry to hear that GR, you have my best wishes for their improved health and rapid recovery.

Like I've said before, it's not a death sentence, even for old folks.  My MIL and FIL (80 and 82 years old) both had it back in July and they were sick for a week, and weak for another week or two, but they're fine now with no lasting issues.

Well, F.

MIL has COVID. Got a positive test back today after daily saliva testing at her place of employment. Today is Day 6 from exposure to a live case at her work.  FIL was tested this morning, and hasn't gotten the test results back yet, but he can't taste anything and he's just as sick as she is.

I realize that with the number of cases in the community, we've been extraordinarily lucky that it took until December 3 before the corona hit really close. Also, MIL would have been in Group 1A for the vaccine once it begins distribution. 

Also, Wednesday's batch of numbers featured 96.7 cases per 100K in Minnesota, which is as bad of a rate as the Dakotas were having the last few weeks.

Is MIL your wife?

Does she have symptoms?

oh I guess MIL stands for my in laws right?

Maybe in Texas...

nope we generally go after the cousins

In 100 days all of us (well, most all of us, who actually leave our homes) will have had the damn thing.
