I treat everything they say as a minimum recommendation.

And I can understand this. My frustration comes when I see officials push back at doing the bare minimal.

I had no idea he was so close to death. Before he got sick I remember him saying he was fully vaxxed but not boosted. It is also crazy that the ESPN vaxx mandate probably saved his life since from the beginning he said he was iffy on the vaxx but he was never anti vaxx. Probably would not have gotten it if not for the mandate. Hopefully everyone reading here also gets boosted. Your antibodies wane over time and SAS getting hit so bad probably mean his antibody levels went too low. He should have gotten boosted sooner. So be extra careful for the 10days or so until your booster shot take effect. Someone I know got boosted and caught covid a day or 2 later. He got hit pretty roughly and thinks it's because he got it right after getting boosted.

When schools opened back up I said kids would be the weak link. You can't expect small children to stick to everything needed to keep their family safe. But we all know the reason why in person school is back is because of money.

I don't think it is money. It's all of those families that can't work from home, or can't manage their your kids in a virtual environment.

It’s more they can’t make parents go to work if their kids are not in school. Capitalism over safety and long term health… like always

"In Texas, the Austin public schools might lay off 200 people and still not fill the financial hole created by the coronavirus."

"in Los Angeles, the costs of virus testing, laptops and free meals for families have mounted to more than $400 million."

"Advocates for public education estimate that schools have lost close to $200 billion so far."

"The pandemic has already forced schools to fire nonunion employees, spending the money instead on remote learning technology, the retrofitting of buildings, testing and surveillance programs, and other coronavirus-related expenses. "

Here is an especially big part

"The fiscal crisis is looming at a time when families fed up with pandemic-era education have increasingly turned to private and charter schools or chosen to educate their children at home. That is potentially a major drain on public school budgets because most states base school funding at least in part on enrollment numbers."

"The school boards association estimated that as many as three million students — about 6 percent of the public school population — are not taking classes right now, and that number could grow."

This part is stuck in my head because in the ghetto schools did not generally care if kids skipped school. They cared to make sure the kids showed up for for a specific amount of time. The reason why is because they need them there for that amount of time so the school can list them as enrolled and that helps with their budget. After that kid puts in their time they no longer care if they came to school.

I’m prob gonna wear a mask in public from here on in. I hope that sometime in April the general population gets a break. Covid overload too much. I’ve personally taken 3 shots —-I don’t see me doing anymore unless something dramatic happens. I got booster but still got covid. So I have as much protection inside me as u can have. I never got a flu shot in my life but also haven’t had flu. We all have to go our own path after a long period of time. Mine will be wearing mask and being cognizant of social distance. But I maybe done with additional immunizations.
