Chamale posted:The lockdowns were one of the greatest public health successes of the 21st century, saving millions of lives. But no politician will say this because it'll kill their re-election chances. The policies surrounding the lockdowns were also one of the largest upward wealth transfers in history. The inability to talk frankly about this is creating a vacuum that's being filled by the belief that covid wasn't a big deal, and that it was going to go away on its own if we hadn't reacted to it.

I don’t think kids think about that too much but maybe they do in high school but by that time they should have learned to read proficiently (lol I know )

Oh also it’s a circus because of the Zelensky visit but half of the civil service, military and defence industry is out sick today despite the high profile event. I wonder why… The week of the 11th, so the second week kids were in school, I saw a wave of out of office emails tick up through today.

Tbh it's possible that we're overthinking it all re:schools and kids. It's just because those kids spend too much time all day on tick tock on their phone nowadays

if the classes are canceled we send kids to the cafeteria or the auditorium if there's someone on duty to watch them. we can't send them to the library anymore for silent study because there literally isn't enough chairs for when classes get canceled routinely. my duty period is now literally no longer to do reading and writing support but to watch kids in the caf

GATOS Y VATOS posted:Air quality in San Francisco is still extremely poo poo thanks to wildfire smoke from up north. I'm going to attempt my first Corsi-Rosenthal box build today for work. It will hopefully help during the winter as well. How often should I change the filters on the device? No idea how long the filters last, but I'm gonna go ahead and say it: the form factor with a single 20x20x4 filter is way better than the cube, with the same amount of surface area as 4x 20x20x1. And if you do MERV 13 + Carbon, it is way more effective at de-stanking your home or workplace, if you have any cologne addicts or weed elementals around Skinnymansbeerbelly has issued a correction as of 18:36 on Sep 22, 2023 |

anecdotal but chronic absenteeism is down this year but maybe because our district did a big onboarding push for the freshman this year who were our biggest problem cohort for it. now we have to deal with the "selective absenteeism" aka in the building but not showing up to class cause you can just hide amongst the canceled classes lol. good luck everyone that'll be easy to fix

Seems like the answer is quite a while.

The anti-vaccine movement is on the rise. The White House is at a loss over what to do about it. “They keep just hoping it’ll go away.”quote:And the impact is clear: As another Covid vaccination campaign gets underway, fewer Americans than ever have kept up to date on their shots. Child vaccination rates against the flu are measurably lower than before the pandemic. Even standard childhood inoculations to prevent diseases like the measles are subject to deepening partisan divisions, with recent polling showing Republicans are now more than twice as likely to believe the shots should be optional than they did in 2019. Democrats, by contrast, remain overwhelmingly in favor of childhood vaccine requirements. quote:In a statement, HHS spokesperson Ilse Zuniga said the administration knows “how important it is for people to have accurate, science-based information to protect themselves and their loved ones.” quote:The White House dissolved its Covid response team earlier this spring in favor of a new office focused on broader pandemic threats and is no longer deeply involved in combating the vaccine conspiracy theories flourishing daily online. When top officials mention the pandemic, it’s now mainly to tout the nation’s emergence from its crisis phase. As for Biden, he openly defied his administration’s Covid guidance earlier this month, declining to wear a mask in public on multiple occasions after being exposed to the virus.

At CVS and just got my Moderna jab. Paid $190.99 because they said Kaiser wouldn't cover it and they tried to convince me to just wait even though I'm flying to Japan in 2 weeks. My husband has an appointment later today and his non-Kaiser insurance also confirmed that they are not going to cover it. System is very cool and good! I'll try to submit my receipt to Kaiser and raise hell but keeping my expectations low.
