You tell your friend to postpone the wedding.

You cancel your RSVP.

You tell your 2nd friend the same.

COVID & First Day of Class
So I tested positive for Covid yesterday without even knowing I had it. It came as a huge shock to me and now I am having to panic email all my professors about it. Only one has responded so far and I’m starting the get a little worried. I sent a notice of absence but I’m not really sure what good that will do. Most of them also do not have canvas pages up so it is a little frustrating. I have heard that if you don’t show up for class on the first day you are dropped from the course, is this true? I guess it’s honestly a waiting game to see if my professor responds before my 8 am.

Lol told my boss well I shouldn't be here cause I was here with her Sunday night while she was arguing with me about the vaccine being pointless and she'll never get the 5g nanochip as she was hot with roni and dicknosing.

Doesn't matter, I'm vaccinated so occupational health does not consider me an infection risk. I think I have a headache. I'm going to loving die from a chud antivaxx coworker. God please can I have the monoclonal 6g femtochips

These rules are very similar to NYC's public school rules so will be super interested to watch their experience. Nice of them to start up a full month before schools here do. One minor difference last time I checked NYC's public school worker vaccination rate was only 60-70%. If these guys see crazy case numbers everyone will.

BTW what is it with American schools and these crazy early start dates right in the middle of summer? In Canada you weren't in school until mid-Sept. It's very strange.

They all do this, logistically I don't think they have a real alternative. Dealing with an actually serious airborne infectious disease properly is just too difficult so we have to pretend it doesn't exist when convenient.

Quality of care can't be part of the billing consideration because if it was hospitals would have to actually provide quality care and facilities and not just the bare minimum.

Fake news. If the hospitals were full, that would mean that COVID wasn't over. Ergo, they're just fine.

Congrats on successfully identifying patient zero before the event even happened. Better take notes on who she interacts with so you can help out with the contact tracing efforts later.
