Apologies if my post was seen as ridicule. It started as a light attempt at humour, but should have stopped at the first line which is probably why that's all you responded to. So thx.

I understand your wife's situation probably more than yours, but I don't understand the fear at all. From her perspective what is she supposed to do? not teach? She's a teacher and there are kids that need teaching.

At the plant where I work I am part of one team that varies between 40-80 people to produce about 100-250 thousand servings of food a day. We had an outbreak for about two months during which about 10% of the workforce got sick. Very, very few people left to sit and collect benefits even though they could.

People were getting sick every week, there were announcements, rumours, sitting together and sharing food was banned, people were appointed to enforce that along with mask policy, there was contact tracing and mandatory testing for anyone that came into contact. The same will happen with the schools and everyone will get through it. They will probably close the classroom for two weeks if a single student tests positive.

People just do the best they can, there's no use worrying is all I meant by the last line.

Only about 10% of the US population has been exposed to the virus and 300,000 dead, hundreds of thousands more with permanent vascular disease from the effects of the virus. So, eff off with the "we'll get through this" bullshit. We have to change our behavior until a vaccine becomes available and even then we need to rethink how we socialize going forward.

Shame on your employer for not doing more to make your work force safer. Shame on him. I don't blame the workers, I blame the people who reap the rewards from your coworkers sacrifices.

Stop trying to kill my mother by pushing a false narrative. There is nothing funny in anything you said and stop trying to justify it a-hole.

My kids will not be returning anywhere near school until I see fit and that is not in the foreseeable future.

Good for you.
Six or so months loss of formal education will really mean nothing if it saves your child's life
Until a vaccine is developed it simply is not worth the risk to put our children into a fucking Petrie dish & see how it works out.
This is not a fucking political fucking football game.
This is real time reality, not some TV shit, which Trump is ignoring & still is fucking saying it will "simply go away"

I’m new here I here, and I usually just see your name
Pop up on politics. I didn’t know you’re an old man who drinks too much smokes too much and lives a generally debauched life running gear under grown man wattage in a red state. Mad respect to you, sir.

Tomorrow, my wife who is a teacher is going back to work in the largest school in the State of Connecticut in Bridgeport with over 1200 students
They are going to hand her a face mask & a bottle of hand sanitizer and say have at it & good luck, that's it.
No separation or mandatory spacing, like none.
We live in an area with one of the highest concentrations of infections/deaths in the fucking World, one where over 80 residents in my own town have died as a result of Trump's Virus, so I hope you can understand me being distraught at this situation.
She's a strong, healthy New Jersey Girl & I'm pretty sure she will survive when she contracts COVID-19, and the odds are high/inevitable that she will, but as far as I'm concerned with my lack of moral character seeing as I drink too excess, smoke too excess & have a general affinity for debauchery & am over 60, I'm a fucking dead man typing the way I see it, because she will infect me.
So, just wait for the shit to really hit the fan once the schools open up with no vaccine on hand or a rational way of dealing with the Virus.
They are all spitting into the wind hoping it doesn't it doesn't come flying back, but you can bet it will.
We ain't seen nothing yet as far death/destruction due too Trump's Virus
I think it's only just begun.

Good luck
I've been in the same place since all this started. Wife is a nurse on the iv team, perusing the floors sticking all patients with needles, covid positive and otherwise. All the while wearing a gown left by the nurse from the previous shift due to lack of ppe. And we are in mass where the surge has long past.
P.S she is stockpiling supplies for the fall surge

Yea, it been my curse all my life, debauchery.
Started in 2nd grade when JFK got shot & just got worse after MLK & RFK got killed.
Ya see, then it became clear that life is really meaningless & that while you still have air in your lungs at the moment, enjoy yourself because that's all that really counts :)

Oh poor you.

Is that really a good enough reason to be pissed off.

Makes my piss boil that people are complaining whilst this virus is among us.

Do you have trouble comprehending the most simple knowledge of Covid and the risks to us all which increase every day until a cure is found.

I have an idea, if you are that pissed off staring at the laptop you could always consider if you were a victim then you would see no laptop!

Fucking ungrateful, inconsiderate and downright fucking disrespectful to anyone who has been effected by this virus.

You're way out of order and need to button your selfish mouth
