We've been back two days and had two cases. I'm within 30 miles of the school in the story. Our superintendent sent out another email this morning to staff and parents stating that we've had more staff cases than expected, but our map to reopening is working great.

Lol.

Jesus gently caress, did their plan seriously include a baseline of infected (and thus also a baseline of dead) staff, and things only are declared bad once a certain number of teachers died?

Our state has no limit on infected/dead, just positivity rate of 15% or higher, only then can a school move to virtual. Lol

They didn't care to supply teachers with what they need to actually teach. gently caress, they didn't care to feed kids.
Only thing they care about are the lunch debts owed.

Thousands of people in the German capital Berlin are taking part in a protest against the country's coronavirus restrictions.

The demonstrators say the measures, including the wearing of facemasks, violate their rights and freedoms.

Germany has been less badly affected by the pandemic than some European countries, but cases are starting to rise again.

On Friday it recorded more than 900 new cases and seven deaths.

Official estimates say at least 15,000 people are taking part in the protests, which is being called "The Day of Freedom".

Protesters held up banners featuring such slogans as "Corona, false alarm", "We are being forced to wear a muzzle".

Funny you should mention that. I talked to my father the other day and that exact thing made him abandon his plans to visit people in Berlin, coming from the B-W/Bavaria border.

I tell the man about how it is here in Florida and he didn't believe me.

"What do you mean, people refuse to wear masks?", he asks.
"Yeah. It's a political thing, too."
"groan"

Feel like driving your parents around.

Are you in hospital or did they send you home with a round of self-administered heparin shots? Legs, arms, or neck? Superficial veins or deep veins? Do you have Factor V Leiden?

German parody newspaper Postillon (think the onion) put it like this:

"In Berlin und anderen Großstädten gingen auch heute wieder mehrere tausend Menschen auf die Straße. Sie demonstrieren mit geringem Abstand und ohne Atemschutzmaske für ihr Recht auf eine zweite Welle der zwischenzeitlich fast schon besiegten Krankheit Covid-19.

"Man nimmt uns unsere Grundrechte auf freie Meinungsäußerung und Versammlung!", äußert eine Demonstrantin ihre Meinung frei bei einer Versammlung mit tausenden. "Freiheit! Freiheit! Weg mit Merkel! Keine Zwangsimpfungen! Schluss mit dem Maulkorb!"

Translation (mine):
Berlin and other major cities saw several thousand people marching again today. They are protesting with little distance and no masks for their right to a second wave of Covid-19, the illness that was nearly subdued.

"They are taking away our freedom of speech and freedom of assembly" says a protestor, making use of their freedom of speech at an assembly of thousands. "Freedom, Freedom! Merkel must go! No mandatory vaccines! No more muzzles!"

I drive an old diesel truck and I make sure to wear my mask because I think it helps people to see it. I guess I am hoping it helps remove any stigma.
