Everyone is sacrificing something, OP. Some have lost their jobs. Some cannot get important medical treatment. Doctors and nurses are risking their lives.

My teen is missing out on AP prep and may not have his extra time accommodation honored by the College Board, which would significantly lower his score. Small potatoes, compared to what others are going through.

Thanks for the "don't complain, someone else has it worse" scold.  No kidding.  [b]Plus I'm sure you've never every complained or expressed anxiety about anything, huh?[/b]

OP, my DS (HS junior) had his major soccer tournament cancelled where a couple of college coaches had said they were coming to watch him play.  He's bummed, I'm bummed.  We're moving on to focus on summer ID camps, but not sure if they'll be on either.  And it's hard on us as parents since we don't know how to guide them on it.[/quote]

The reason I'm scolding is that I'm a scientist and saw the writing on the wall in early January, like many of my colleagues. We have been screaming blue murder for months, nobody has listened. And now many thousands of people are going to die.

So instead of whining about small things (you think I don't have my share of small things to complain about? Of course I do), we should be a little more stiff upper lip in the face of the horror that is about to be visited on the USA.

In two weeks, more people on DCUM and in your community will start to die. I don't know if you guys realize that.
It won't be posts about athleticism. It will be posts about people you know, losing their lives.
