Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

If we had responded to the Axis threat during WWII the way we're responding to COVID, we would all be living a version of The Man in the High Castle.

GOP - not going to attend convention - too risky!

also GOP - all schools need to open!

Well, you know, kids aren't at high risk.

You'd think after half a year of this most people would understand how infectious diseases work, but apparently not...

Human enemies are the best. Unless they are us.

And it’s all subtle bullshit. You earn nothing and are owed nothing and your work/life balance is 100% predicated on intangibles like company culture and workload. At least with PTO and a normally scheduled workweek the company explicitly lays out a work/life balance expectation that can be measured and negotiated. I’ll take my PTO bank over unlimited time off any day.

Exactly

Desantis's governor offices have been closed for a few months to protect him and his people.

more like "you're gonna get sick Billy - you might have damaged lungs for the rest of your life - but probably not.

But your Mom over there is gonna be ill for a few months - she might need to be hospitalized.

You're Dad is gonna have to sell the house to pay for the medical bills. I hope she lives. Your parents will never be able to afford a vacation again. Do you think you'll like living in a one bedroom apartment?

I'll look after her when she's in the hospital - if she dies and I put covid down as the diagnosis people will say I did it for the extra $.

And people will imply she deserved to die because of any prior conditions she may have had.

Like asthma or type 1 diabetes she's had since she was a kid."

Phfffft, just spend a year and learn welding.

When they build the guillotine, she's going to be the first one up the steps.

If anything just for being so completely fucking lacking in self awareness.

How is it any different? You stood by and squabbled amongst yourselves while Hitler rolled accross Europe, then you argued against supporting Britain for another 9 fucking months before authorizing the lend lease act and releasing the supplies you were sitting on. Then you still waited another 9 months to get bombed before declaring war.

Same shit, different century.

Please don’t stop teaching. I mean “walk” with your coworkers, carrying signs, making your health and safety a priority for the administrators, parent, students, and larger community. Collectively, show up to work but don’t entire the buildings.

LAUSD and SDUSD just took their stand. Their teachers are very well organized and have been for a long time.

I don’t know you, but per my mom (former teachers union organizer), the elementary school teachers were the most difficult to get on the bus to understand the benefits of collective worker strength, being proactive, thinking long term, and bargaining with the politicians. They are the largest # of teachers and wield the most power.

Consider helping your coworkers get up to speed and then help the administrators.

Much of the state will follow. There is discussion on the district level across CA about not returning to school in the fall. I just got word this morning that the school I provide food service for will begin with distance learning in August. It was decided last night in guidance with the county superintendent and health department. I know my kids school (same county) will likely follow along with the school my wife teaches at (Santa Clara county) will likely as well. I expect the entire BA to announce in the next ten days.

Exactly This. They did the same thing in Britain for years running up to the war. Refused to believe Hitler was a real threat until it was almost too late.

Wow. What a crazy story. Thanks for posting.

Sounds highly unlikely that guy would have lived without being on a ventilator.

SF won't be outdone by LA for left leaning policy and they'll follow suit with distance learning in the fall. The bay area counties will follow SF. Sacramento will be the wild card, and the central valley will fight it.

In other news, my firefighter neighbor tested positive and is quarantined in their trailer with a 104* fever. His 5 y.o. girl just started spiking high fevers yesterday and can't taste things right now. She hasn't been tested to my knowledge but sounds like she's got it too. My 10 y.o. rides her bike to school with their older daughter who (to my knowledge) hasn't shown signs yet. They live 5 houses away. Fuck.

And yes, the firefighter dad is middle aged and in excellent health.
