COVID-19: Chapter 5 - BACK TO SCHOOL

Wait so you’d be willing to match whatever they were going to make for them to stay home? Seems insane they would rather go work fast food instead of get paid to stay home.

Thats a super tough spot though with the wife on their side. Only thing I can think of is just show her all the scary shit we’ve seen with this virus, stuff from this thread, to try to win her back to your side.

It’s absolutely not insane when she wants to see other people, plus she might be worried about resume building.

Always remember this: we’re the weirdos. I would take my parents money, but I gave up on socialization well before COVID.

If you made it this far you can hold out a few more weeks before making a decision about relaxing vigilance. We will probably soon know whether a vaccine for the vulnerable is likely around the corner.

I think we’ll find out whether schools are even possible a lot sooner.

In a month or two it should be safe to go out. Between college ragers proceeding like it’s 2019 and shoveling school children into the open for business machine, everyone around us should already have it by then.

Mostly kidding.

No, I decided against it. I was really wanting to get out of my house and travel a bit but knew it wasn’t 100% safe so I stayed put.

I fully expect that tomomrrow will be a terrible day. Aside from my workload, I’ll find out the odds of me getting covid during the rest of the year. Hell, I can get an O/U on the number of days before the school gets closed.

Right now, I’m at 14.5.

Lol SEC

Probably, but I don’t think anybody has had a confirmed case, or ldo a serious one.

Any notable posters who have just disappeared post-March? Mikelikesorgies?

We are probably a lot farther than that. The last I saw none of the stage 3 trials that the US has access to are even full yet. A vaccine may be approved roughly 3 months after stage 3 trials fully begin (ie are full). So at a bare minimum no vaccine is completing stage 3 testing before the end of the year or so.

The October surprise is the Russian vaccine.

Hell none of us are taking the Russian vaccine right? Article about my point in the previous post:

Cliffs: So far they have only found 4500 as of last week to participate out of 30,000 needed to complete stage 3.

I’ve skimmed and nothing really jumps out at me. I have noticed Mike’s absence. It’s been about 2-1/2 weeks.

Did DodgerIrish ever resurface?

No, but I think he’s just mad? I’m fuzzy on the details there.

RSigley supposedly had it on 22. Maybe a few others.

A bunch of Chiefsplaneteers have gotten it. Some have had relatives die. The guy with the SS duck decoy avatar that Trolley noticed had his mom die supposedly. One of them works in healthcare and tested positive twice - two months apart. Asymptomatic the first time, sick the second, recovered now.

Haven’t seen @Inso0 around lately. :thinking:
