They just cancelled my kids entire school year.

Entire year?? Madness

If everybody does the right thing they could get this under control in a month or two

They just cancelled my kids entire school year.

Ours too

I don't have any kids but I know the schools around here have been suspended indefinitely, and they're going to move to remote/online classes. My nephew's high school up in NY state (mainland NY, not the 5 boroughs on the islands) is closed until April 13th (tentatively). I guess they're gonna play it by ear to see when it would be a good time to reopen. I doubt they're gonna reopen any time soon. My brother said they won't move to online classes because there are some families in the school district that don't have home computers (How the fuck does that even happen in 2020?!). Anyway, it sucks for my nephew, because he's a senior, and he just won the sectionals wrestling championship in his weight class and was ranked top 5 going into the state tournament that's supposed to take place in late April. Anyway, he's rolling with the punches but both my brother and I are pissed off for the kid. My brother never made the state tournament when he wrestled, and I got bounced out of my state tournament in the first round as a junior. I never got to wrestle my senior year. The kid already made us proud, but the entire family was hoping he could do some serious damage at state. He really wanted it. Not to mention that his senior trip could be cancelled, and prom, and all the stuff that goes along with your last year in high school. His older brother got to do it all (but he never wrestled, the derelict), and we all were hoping that the younger one would have the best year ever. Now this shit. And to think, there are kids all across the nation that are going through the same shit. Man, fuck China.

@DGX wrestling... Oh no! How would you even practice that.

Our schools have started holidays early, then they have three week. So about a month. My main worry is for my clients. I'm in management so I don't have as many as the full-time counsellors, nevertheless most of my kids are the worst ones, abuse at home, suicidal ideation. So i worry for them. School was safest place that they had

It's funny, I was about to use the word 'safe space' but I held back, but I shouldn't because this is actually the way the f****** phrase should be used.

I wrestled before I was disabled. And played football. I became disabled in the summer between my junior and senior years of high school around the 4th of July in '92. If you're asking how would you practice that today in the day and age of Kung Flu, you could do isolation drills on your own, but eventually you're gonna want to square off against live opponents in practice. Obviously, it would have to wait until all this was done.

Either/or would have been fine. The point would've gotten across either way. I'm sorry for your kids.

I just wanted to make a further political point as an aside

So kids, If I drink 8 beers a day and I have 15 cases of beer hoarded in the garage, how many days before daddy is sober?

8

Holy shit. An apparently otherwise healthy 64 year old North Vancouver dentist died today after catching COVID at a dental conference March 3-5. My mom saw her dentist in North Van just a few days after and had been trying to hear back from them whether her dentist was there at that conference in Vancouver too, but they were closed and never replied.... Thankfully the window has passed where she'd be symptomatic but that hits close to home, my mom is in her early 60's too and gets bad chest colds.

Also my wife had to go to the COVID ward today. They're only allowing N95 masks to be used when performing procedures on patients because of PPE shortages, so she just had to talk to the patient from the doorway unmasked. This is fucked!

You know, it occurs to me that I can watch a lot of fucked up shit on the internet. Sometimes I think it's enlightening to see it, shows you how fragile our dumb bodies are, or maybe it's just morbid curiosity seeing people getting hurt doing dumb shit... but whenever I start a fucked up video and see there's fire involved, I'm out Of all things, fire is the one that gets me even if it's people just asking for it.

The Democratic People's Republic of Boulder has followed suit with the city of Denver and ordering a 'Shelter In Place' order.

Colorado is up to 720 confirmed cases now and 9 deaths. More testing being done and more positive tests.
