That's precisely why we're in this mess. People needed to get their hair and nails done and wanted to start shopping again. So we opened too soon and without enough testing capacity and poor contact tracing.
So your solution is to open things up even more by sending kids to school? This isn't an oil well on fire that can be put out by blowing it up. We need to smother it by limiting contact.
If you remember when everyone got Covid-19 in packing plants and meat prices got all fucky, remember that all those meat packing plant workers spent a lot of time shoulder to shoulder in sealed climate controlled facilities. Schools might not be as cold inside but there’s a lot of similarities in the amount of human contact.Â

This isn't Texas related, but wanted to let you guys know that you're not alone. It's a nation-wide urban vs. rural split.Â
I drove through CA recently and stopped in a few small towns to get gas. Not a single mask in any of the stores I went in despite every store having a "mask required" on the door.
I say this as someone who grew up in, and works extensively with rural Americans, it’s because they’ve had smoke blown up their asses their whole lives that being rural is being a purer American than anyone else, and thus stuff doesn’t apply to them.Â

Here's a sympathetic voice: it's fucking hard, and it's a hard call.
Kids NEED in-person schooling. There seems to be no doubt that it's helpful to most kids both academically and socially, and losing a large block of it can have serious negative effects, including over the long term.
But beyond the health of the kids themselves, there's the health of the teachers and staff to account for, as well as the families those kids will go home to every day.
It's a complicated fucking problem, with a lot of unbalanced risk-reward calculations along the way.
I don't know what the right call is. I really don't.
Grade School kids will get good and fucked up too if they teacher dies from something that was spread in their classroom too.Â

Is MS-13 kills my ass, it’s likely to be fast, while COVID would be slow as hell and miserable. So if we’re picking, I know what route I’d go

So the second wave is getting rolling here locally in Lincoln. Last week was the biggest since mid-May at 170 cases, and we just rolled in with 267 for this week capping with the biggest day in Months at 68.Â

Just read on Twitter that they had a bunch of testing facilities, like 34 of them, claim 100% positive rates today.  That’s pretty much statistically impossible, so I’d take whatever data they’re putting out with a grain of salt. Â
Or there getting overwhelmed so they’re only getting the positives out on the report

Lol. Guess not. Â Who looks at dates when reading articles anyways. I guess you assholes
Saw a different article last month that showed suicide rates increase 1.6% for every 1% of increase in unemployment. (From study of 2007-2010) Figured with a 9% increase in unemployment since February that we would see suicide numbers increase but having a hard time finding reporting or numbers on that lately. Maybe it’s because the increase is negligent, or maybe it’s just buried in under everything else.
Negligent is how people are acting currently, negligible is the amount of change in the amount of somethingÂ

I don’t know why people need to believe that pedo stuff is always tied to some grand conspiracy, when it usually someone trusted doing it, or people trafficking themselves to a sex tourism haven to exploit poverty instead of moving the kids

I don't understand the idea of postponing. Move to online learning until the coast is clear. We know online learning is less efficient than in-class learning -- get on it ASAP, instead of kicking the can down the road when kids could be (in theory) learning something.
I guess I should note they were planning on full classes everyday while Omaha was starting with rotating schedules and an online component. I’m guessing they’ll head that direction before outright postponementÂ

So on a schools must open note. The Public Schools here in Lincoln said in early June they were going to reopen August 12th with masks,etc. Cases have jumped this past week and they moved our threat level from yellow to orange and the schools just sent out an email saying “about that start date”, indicating if case keep going the way they are they’ll postpone the opening soonÂ

I will note that our intern who is a walk-on here at NU told us yesterday that they are still being told that the season will start on time, at the same time they are laying off game day staff.Â

Oregon trail was the defining aspect of computer lab for me. 99 boxes of bullets, a shit ton of oxen and a doctor as my occupation. Pay the money for the ferry to float the wagon across every time it was presented as an option. Cholera couldn't derail my wagon but the Sioux couldn't wait to find me with 0 axles and 4000 lbs of rotted bison meat. That strategy got me past chimney rock every time. Probably made it to the Willamette Valley once. Im an early millennial, if that means anything. Boomers would also go with 99 boxes of bullets, but rather than oxen or a valuable profession, they probably brought 1,000 boxes of bootstraps.
The school I went to was physically on the trail route, nothing better than playing Oregon Trail and passing where you were sitting.

So one of my co-workers likely contracted it while partying at Nebraska’s Big Rodeo in Burwell. The main surprise is that it took him this long to get it as he has not been cautious at all. Luckily for me he has been remote since May.
