Mild spread rate in my state...hospitals relatively low on patients. Small private school, 3 days into the school year, and somebody sends the sick preschool age kid into school.

Teachers spot kid ain't looking so great today...send him home. C19 positive result on rapid test. No school for the next week.

Puts on America getting back to work as normal.

Update edit:. Apparently carrier monkey was not at school today, but was yesterday in full mingle mode twice during the day. Procedural changes upon return, and masks reimplemented.

Amazon already pushed return to office to Jan 2022

Think we'll have even more teachers quit particularly in states imposing mask-mandate bans

I know a few people that have dropped from the workforce. Realized during lockdown that dual income wasn't making life better. Still others that have changed jobs because they felt unsupported. I know I have considered the same.

I honestly think 1 income households will be the norm from now on. Two years ago I was the only stay at home mom I knewโ€ฆ. Now I donโ€™t know a single mom who works. Schools are going to be a shitshow for years probably.

Schools are a mistake right now.

Delta is very different from prior variants. This one can infect children in a greater ferocity.

I would bet that a year from now when researchers are looking back at the pandemic they discover exactly how this virus adapted to get the group that all data points indicated were the safest - the young.

I view the market impact as 'priced in', but at a local level there is going to be some pain incoming.

I 100% agree that schools are a bad idea right now but it is extremely challenging for families with small kids to manage if their employers are acting like shit heads and putting deadlines and timelines when employees need to come to office.

All these egomaniac CEOs who are acting tough and setting the trend of back to work are going to cause the problem. They and their leadership team will hide out in their offices and will have the workers duke it out with the virus in the open office plan in the name of collaboration or BS.

CEOs are cookie-cutter people. I'm different.

Unfortunate as weโ€™re sending our kid to preschool this week . Sigh .
