RidgeRacer Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 When were you on Facebook? I like it because I know what people I was in tenth grade Spanish class with are having for lunch today and their views on medicine even though they mostly failed out of college. I've been off of Facebook for about 8 or 9 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Israel they almost eliminated Covid-19 were down to like 20 daily cases for a country with size and population of New Jersey and now after reopening up to 1500 daily cases many of them traced to schools. This disease is nicknamed the honey badger virus it is fierce and difficult to contain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFskiDan Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 2 hours ago, theprogram4 said: So now gloves are bad even if you take them off properly? no, not at all. Most people go put the gloves on, go touch a whole bunch of stuff, and think they have protected themselves. Then when they are done touching everything they just bought, and grabbing their car keys, and then the car door, and while they are at it, the steering wheel, and then they go take the gloves off, but they take them off like they are a pair of ski gloves. I watched a video of some lady showing how to dispose of the gloves properly (in a trash can) because they were all over the parking lot, and she clearly didnt know how to take them off, since she touched her skin with a gloved hand, trying to take the other glove off. Really it just makes people feel like they are protecting themselves, but if they really thought about it, they might not want to reach in their wallet to grab the credit card, with the gloves on they just touched everything with. If something was contaminated, then they just contaminated the wallet and CC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Masks now required at daycares for children over age 2 in PA. In Texas something like 800 daycare workers and 400 kids in daycares have been infected. Big divide over reopening schools. Republicans want them reopened and democrats do not. My friend who teaches at Philadelphia school district said many parents won’t send students back. Inner city people are more cautious of the coronavirus as it has impacted their communities more than the suburbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C1erArt Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I try to do the clean hand/dirty hand and clean pocket/dirty pocket. I put any charge cards and cash I will need in my dirty pocket and keep my keys in the clean pocket. Soaked some baby wipes in Lysol and bring one in the store in case the store doesn’t have one when entering. Bought a UV sanitizer for when I get home. Grandkids are back at daycare, so have to quarantine from them. :-( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone run a card with no gloves at a register (how many have they touched?). Ok, maybe they sanitized hands after, but probably not between the time they swiped the card and touched the terminal. It'd need like 4 sanitizations between one transaction (handing card, touching terminal, returning card, handing over goods. Then, they hand you a package / box / bag after touching the terminal, cards all day or cash register keys. Not to mention people are putting their trust in a number of people in the back who truly may or may not give a shit. It's just as risky as everything else but it's all totally cool and encouraged. I don't understand it. edit: ok not as risky as a packed bar but people are like 'oh wow how did i get this ive been so careful', you don't know if bob from the pizza shop was at the bar 3 days ago and isn't showing signs.

But you make a good point, I touched my wallet in the store with the gloves on. I’ve been pretty good with keeping Lysol wipes in the car, I might need to stick with that route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inner city people are more cautious of the coronavirus as it has impacted their communities more than the suburbs. It's required, but the kids don't wear their masks all day...if they think a 2 year old is going to wear a mask for 8 or 10 hours and kids aren't going to play with them or rip them off, they're mistaken. My daughter just went back on Tuesday. Temperature, wellness check, and hand washing is required for the kids to enter the building..no parents are allowed inside. They've always been pretty good about sanitizing anyway, but it's more intense now. Only a few kids can play in the outside play area at a time...then everything is sanitized and another group can come out (each age group has their own playground area anyway). She's in a class of 6 anyway since she's considered an older toddler, but if any illness were to hit the day care, I'm sure it'd spread pretty quick. If we go back to the yellow phase, we'll probably keep her home again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the only way he can get his three year old to wear a mask is if he lets him watch YouTube videos. Probably stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion, FWIW, is that it came from the Wuhan lab, but it wasn't manufactured there for bio-warfare. The lab has a history of poor handling practices and I believe the virus was being studied there, with the chance of it being modified for research. Poor handling procedures allowed it to escape to the wet market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poconoceancity Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Schools everywhere are planning to reopen with a hybrid system in place. Kids go 1-2 days and staff goes in 2-4 days. The other days will be virtual. My school is looking at having one group of students coming from 8-12 M/T and the other group coming from 8-12 R/F. Everyone out of the building at noon each day for a deep cleaning and nobody other than custodians in the building on Wednesday’s for an ever deeper cleaning. Hopefully we can make it to thanksgiving on that schedule and then go totally virtual until the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like your district has things organized way better than the ones around here with respect to a plan for the fall. Also will there be school sports?
