Spoke with my family doctor of 20 years today.. his wife graduated HS with me and I trust him.
Highlights:
*My youngest should opt for Virtual Only school this year.
*A second wave will be hitting in the fall.
*Get your flu shot!
*He highly doubts a successful vaccine within the next year. And if there is, there is a shortage of supplies.
*He votes against going to the beach house. Mixing different households from different states is a recipe for contagion.
*He keeps his kids home, too.
@ChippySuave vbschools is voting tomorrow.
We are listening to a FB live rebroadcast of their community meeting now.
If i could afford it, I'd have my wife take a year leave rather than risk her going back, but I cannot afford that.
We are keeping our college age home, virtual classes. Even the one doing architecture is doing studio virtual.
@ChippySuave and if they do and come down with COVID-19, no workman's comp because you can't prove the virus came from working in a school during a global pandemic.
Yes, bad all around.
@butch I have some friends who are teachers. One in NY told me they have to apply for Family medical leave if they don’t feel safe going back to in person teaching. She said she can’t afford to not work, but hope it doesn’t cost her a price too steep.
It's a bad sitch all the way around.
