Today was a snow day for the children. They played outside in the snow. Livia built a snowman. Good.
I had my annual work review. My boss said she was happy with my work. I got a raise. Good.
The School Superintendent sent us an e-mail with a link to a memo from the Department of Health. The document began with an acknowledgement that Covid cases are rising and that children make up a significant proportion of new cases. So what are they going to do about it? Are they they going to ask for better masks? Use more testing? Go to a hybrid model? Allow some kids to attend remotely? Keep the kids in “stable pods?” Have a week or two of distance learning to give the surge a chance to ebb? Of course not. They’re slashing the quarantine requirements instead. That will certainly keep more kids and teachers in school…along with more Covid. Not good!
