[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of y’all here and on Twitter appear almost gleeful at every reported case. It’s gross.[/quote]

+100. Between the pumpkin mom and the Covid notifications person, you have this relatively very tiny cohort of overly anxious sensationalizing panickers who are completely unhinged from reality and seem to obtain some odd gratification in their self-induced and baseless panic.[/quote]

This. The Covid notifications person is particularly depressing to me because they clearly thought they'd be posting 100s of cases as school started and be heralded as some kind of whistleblower for this great public health disaster. Instead there have been a few dozen cases, overwhelmingly among adult faculty and staff, and people have tested and quarantined appropriately. Zero evidence of Covid spread in any schools. Kids are wearing their masks. Most schools are finding ways to do lunch outside or in small cohorts. We're only a week and a half in so I'm not declaring victory over anything, but it's gone better than I expected and as a parent who was pretty stressed about it, I have started to feel myself having a bit more faith that this is going to work, at least in the immediate term.

I can't imagine looking at the current situation and thinking it's some great disaster. These people have been predicting widespread Covid through the whole system and multiple child deaths. I've seen them say it, multiple times! I just don't know how anyone can take them seriously at this point. [/quote]
