Possibly a good sign that good protocols + a well run organization that believes in science with people actually following them, who are taking covid seriously in their non-work hours - can actually work.
MLB had good protocols as well I thought - but apparently some of the teams didn’t take them seriously at first.
My school has a bit too many foreign trips for students to go on. Teachers plan them because if they do, then they get to go on it essentially for free because they’ll distribute their housing and travel expenses among what they require the students to pay. Their lone sacrifice is having to supervise a bunch of teenagers.
Anyway, the money for Italy was paid before covid got super-bad. The school wanted to cancel but they couldn’t get the cash that the parents paid them back. So it was either turn to the parents and tell them that they weren’t going and weren’t getting their money back or go anyway. They chose the latter.
Well, you can see where this story is going. While in Italy, the teacher who coordinated the trip was diagnosed with covid-19. Her son was also diagnosed with it. Everybody who went on the trip is now in quarantine.
So yeah. Looks like dodged bullets are going to be a weekly thing until we finally get hit because I was supposed to teach that class tomorrow.

Glad you’re getting your Phil Hellmuth on so far.
Another one of my colleagues has a family member with covid19. So she’ll be teaching from home as well. Used to sit next to her in the teacher’s room. Luckboxed that my desk got moved to a smaller room with fewer teachers I guess
I said in the previous thread that I didn’t expect my school to make it through the week and I stand by that.
Negative test. Took 48 hours.

It really is incredible how much complete and utter nonsense right-wingers accept w/o question.

Also, the U.S. is now under 2,000 new cases away from its peak active cases in the pandemic, so far.
Saturday record-breaking day of 1,539 new cases came on 12,886 tests. That’s a positive rate of 11.94%. That is the third highest single day percentage since the beginning of the pandemic. The rate over the last 7 days is 8.21% which is by far the highest it has been at any point during the pandemic.
Sunday is unlikely to break 1,000 new cases since they run way fewer tests on Sundays. Actually, I’m surprised that they ran nearly 13,000 tests on a Saturday.
There are 288 people hospitalized with covid-19 with 69 on life support machinery. This is the highest it has been for both stats since the end of April.
UP: Why didn’t Woodward release the tapes right away? It could have saved so many lives!
Reality: Trump going HAM killing his supporters after the tapes came out.
