Just keep a can of Lysol or something handy and don't intentionally piss on it, I can't imagine it's any less sanitary than handling dirty toilet paper.

it made a nice bucket of what I would describe as food, probably enough for a whole day

I just pumped my cesspool and I think washing your rear end instead of filling your cesspool with wads of poo poo paper is probably a good idea

The toilet seat bidets often have a self cleaning mechanism where you can make it spray water all over itself. When it's not spraying your bum it's ticket under the seat.

The sitting bidets: I grew up in a house that had one. It had an upward facing sprinkler and was perfect for washing junk and bums. Cold and hot so you could get warm water.

How seriously are students taking the "wash your hands, don't touch your face" message? Whether or not people actually follow that advice will have a huge impact on how this plays out.

My district is K-8 and the elementary school students are oblivious and as germy as ever. We're working to have more nursing support in the classes to enforce better hand hygeine with UV lights, etc. Teachers are told not to worry if handwashing eats into instruction time. The middle schoolers are taking it way more seriously - we're seeing like 30 kids/day in the office wanting their temperature checked. Our approach is that if any student says they don't feel well for almost any reason, send them home. Our policy used to be to only exclude students with fevers, but now we're telling parents if they have any cold symptoms at all to keep them home. It's tough because middle schoolers will look for pretty much any reason to skip class, but better safe than sorry. We're excusing all absences of students who report any symptoms, but are drawing the line at excusing absences based in fear.

Admin and teachers are taking it VERY seriously. Janitorial staff working ridiculous amounts of overtime to do deep cleans over the weekend and every evening. We're also cancelling all assemblies, field trips and after school activities and banning shared ipads/headphones/band instruments. All visitors to each school now have to answer screening questions before they can volunteer in their child's classroom. Teachers are spending the weekend preparing for virtual classes or packets that can be done from home. They say we're not at school closure status yet but want to be prepared since guidance seems to be changing quickly. It's also a pretty high income neighborhood with nervous helicopter parents, so that helps put pressure on the school to take it all more seriously.

Outside of the district I work in, I have a daughter in a small private elementary school and two high schoolers in public school in the Bay Area, so I get to see their responses as well. The private school doesn't seem to be doing much other than reminding kids to wash their hands and cancelling after school sports practices. The grades are still mixing together for various activities and all meet together for morning assembly. My sons' high school seems much more vigilant and is doing many of the things I listed above.

It probably is just some common bug, but it's preferable that you're not spreading those around, either.

I've got two in preschool, and I'm considering keeping them home starting this week. Does that seem reasonable? Am I early on this?
Honestly, it's a hard call to make. I think most people would say it's a little premature, but I understand the concern. How large is the preschool? Do you feel confident in their approach so far? Do you trust the other parents at the preschool to keep their kids home if they show symptoms? The risk would be less to your children and more to those your children could expose - do they spend lots of time with grandparents or other immunocompromised individuals? Do they do a lot of extracurricular activities where they could expose other immunocompromised people? I've been sending my kids to school, but watching the situation closely.

i havent had the cold/flu in such a long time i wouldnt really know. the absence of sneezing is odd and as jose mentions this top-of-head headache is kinda consistently there. im holding back quite a few dry coughs and breathing is all scratchy and unpleasant

ima send someone to get cold/flu meds and some sort of cough syrup and should be quite fine. mum hoards so were all sorted on food but she didnt think about meds


do i get DXM? dihydrocodeine? or... a non narcotic syrup? sounds crazy but idk

It's all quite bizarre. People are acting as though supply chains will be shut down for months when the reality is they'd be better off just stocking their freezer and cupboards with real food so they have plenty to eat if they get sick and can't go out for a couple of weeks (home delivery times are starting to blow out here so ordering online is less of an option if you need food in a couple of days).

If people are going to stockpile food they're probably not going to need, you'd think it would be food they actually want to eat.

i mean i had to laugh but without some knowledgeable source telling you to care a bit wouldnt you convince yourself you were fine too?

i 100% ruled it out until the coughing/breathing issues now its like, well, i better follow the guidelines i was sent, not necessarily seeking testing or anything at this stage. so i gotta warn health pros before i go near them and inquire ahead if they even want me to still come to an appointment
