Holy shit.
Wow, I’m so sorry. I hope you start to feel better soon!
It’s been a long road for me, and luckily didn’t kick off autoimmune issues (knock on wood) but I’ve had fatigue issues, and now asthma. And I also got some weird routine bloodwork results so I have to go back in in a few weeks. Fingers crossed it was just a blip.
My SIL’s uncle is in the hospital on a ventilator. He was bored so he went to Florida months ago so he could eat out at restaurants and she wanted to get her nails done. She got it first with minor symptoms and they believe in 45’s hoax so they didn’t take any precautions at all. And he’s now on his second week in the hospital. No one can visit him.
It’s not the funding I’m worried about, it’s how the money is being spent. For instance, the school district is buying iPads for every single student. And the safety measures they will have to enact, the supplies will be paid for out of the money that normally goes to extracurricular or art classes, etc. One of the cyber options the school is offering the district has to pay for per student enlisted, it’s not from the teachers at our school. They’re actually asking parents nicely to consider not choosing that because we can’t afford it for every student, basically. I live in a fairly wealthy suburb with a great school district and we’re already stretched thin. We fundraise nonstop through the year. How are schools across the country going to afford to keep all of these kids safe?
My husband works in an environment where if someone tests positive or is suspected of being sick, they have to call in a crew to sterilize the facility overnight. When I think about the money that will need to go into trying to keep elementary, middle and high schools open- it is mind boggling imagining where the money will come from. Schools should not open at the expense of teachers, or students.
I’m worried about school. I want to send my 1st grader, but I don’t comprehend how they are going to be safe at school, how it’s going to be a fun environment anymore, and I am worried about his health as well. He’s been away from other germs for the most part for a long time. He was out of school sick a lot last year. There’s that little voice in the back of my mind that is terrified of the kid getting sick/dying. That primal parent fear.
I also worry about how all of these precautions/some people choosing a cyber option will affect the school budgets.
I honestly kind of wish they’d just postpone school reopening. Just cancel it all. Pay the teachers, but keep it closed. But it’s easy for me to say that as a stay at home parent without an actual paying job.
I read that, too! I had two different versions of the flu (even with getting the vaccine) in the winter, so I definitely don’t think what I had was the flu.
I do think most of this should be his responsibility.
Like has he ever taken only her out for a drink and said, “Look, Crazy Sister- Veritek is my wife. I want you to have a good relationship and that means that I need you to treat her with respect. If you can’t be courteous and civil to her, I’m going to feel let down by you. I haven’t told her we’re having this conversation. It’s just between us, but please cut the shit.”???
Agreed he’s not tuning it out if he tells you all the crazy shit she does and mean things she says.
Again, sorry you’re dealing with this.
I did read that there appears to still be some kind of immune system response if you come in contact again even if you don’t test positive for antibodies. I went to Labcorp, but I don’t know which version of the antibody test they use. They did say the results don’t mean that I didn’t have it. I believe I had Covid. I guess testing negative has just made me feel like maybe I should start being hyper vigilant again. And it’s made school decisions more fraught. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things at all.
Can you call your doctor? I’m sorry that you’re feeling crappy again! I just got tested for antibodies this week….negative! My doctor says he still believes I had COVID-19. I don’t know what to think. We’ve been pretty careful but I did have a sense that we’d had it and we have antibodies and we’ll be fine.
I’m sorry for your loss, Veritek. Your SIL is out of order and it’s disappointing to me that her family enables her to behave so badly. I am sorry you have to deal with her shit.
Wow, I’m sending good juju to your niece and your family.
It is really depressing how the culture of ignorance has flourished in the US. Opinions shouldn’t trump actual data. People suck.
I’m not saying fear isn’t normal or okay, but if someone doesn’t want a gun in their home, I respect that. Suicide/domestic risks increase dramatically when a gun is in the home available for use.
I grew up with guns. My stepdad was a gun dealer for a long time, and actually patented and designed different parts for guns years ago.
I grew up knowing how to use them as tools- and I still don’t want one in my home. That’s just my opinion. I don’t fear my neighbors. Even if the shit hit the fan, I don’t actively fear my neighbors are going to loot and hurt me or my family.
Oh, I absolutely believe schools will be closed again. It’s just a matter of time.
Helen, I’m sorry. I am totally anti gun as well and I wouldn’t be happy if there were one in my house.
