Then, attended a party the night before the Queen's husband's funeral where she was forced to sit alone. Talk about a piece of s#!t. A little off topic, but I wonder how long they're going to keep up the Royal Family thing? I know tax dollars are wasted all the time, but that's a new level. Take back power, or get out.

BigRedBuster Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 This is the type of situation where people's protests against wearing masks gets infuriating. When you're own personal opinions out weighs someone else's health concerns and you are specifically asked to wear a mask to help in a specific situation. I wonder if Gorsuch refuses to wear a mask when visiting a hospital. 2 Link to comment
Jason Sitoke Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 1 hour ago, BigRedBuster said: The daily new cases are now lower than they were before the first of the year. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ The daily deaths are lower than they have been since first of August. Hopefully, that trend continues. It was a holiday weekend...a lot of states don't report their numbers. You'll see quite a jump today. Link to comment

You'll see quite a jump today. That will be interesting to see. And, maybe that was part of it. However, this was a lot lower than New Years holliday and the deaths were lower than Christmas. I expect a jump up today simply because more are reported throughout the week. Link to comment

I use the NYT data, and I don't see that. I see a low number reported on Sunday, Jan 2nd (286,000 new cases), and a slightly higher number from this past Sunday (337, 000 new cases). 1 Link to comment

On the NYT dash board, both the deaths and cases trend lines have started heading down. Again, hopefully that trend continues. I'm not saying that we are in a long term trend. I'm just pointing out that this is when we would see a downward trend starting if we follow what happened in South Africa. Link to comment

Last Friday's "snowday" was a COVID day for most of the districts in the Omaha area. It was a chance to get everyone out for a long weekend and hopefully get some kids back in the classroom. I wonder how lax districts will be with weather closings. 1/2"=snowday???? Link to comment

We're getting to the point where a better idea at this point (IMO) is having students go half-time each day, or two days a week with a buffer day/remote day built it. Link to comment
