I was talking to someone I know who got covid in NYC. His employer questioned the diagnosis/test results and has been calling him every day asking when he plans to return. He also works in a health care setting with people who have various disabilities.
Classy. Compare that with Canada, where Trudeau has said that, yeah, there are going to be people scamming the bail-out system, but it'll hurt more people by slowing payments if more rigid safeguards are put in place. It's a not-so-subtle assumption that most people are legit versus most people are lazy good-for-nothings.

I am back at work today. My boss is being pretty cool - she is letting me work from home four days a week. The office has all kinds of sanitizing items around and we are seated far apart from each other. Yet...it's still not sitting right with me. She came to my desk earlier and got really close. I actually backed away, and she said "oh, it's fine, I'm wearing a mask." That's great, so am I, but you just told me you went to your hairdresser last night. Which, NOT SAFE. Nobody gives a shit if your roots are gray. Also, there is nothing I can do here that I can't do from home. I think she wants to put on a show for our ReSale Shop staff - if they have to be here, so should we. I get it, but I just wish she was being safer.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Team virus would also clean out a lot of elderly evil in Congress and the White House. Maybe let's not fast track that vaccine and let this play out a bit …

I am dumbfounded that American universities are going ahead with in-person classes this fall. In Canada, as far as I know all schools have already made the call that this fall is distance-learning (with some specialities excepted). Second wave expected in the fall? Let's put tens of thousands of people in close quarters! More than that, if American schools are planning on reopening, they aren't planning on distance education, making any course correction haphazard down the line.

The whole idea of students going back and also sharing living quarters with other students seems insane.

If the intention were to maximize the efficiency of the virus, this would be a pretty good strategy. Way too often your country seems totally insane.

Ha! One of the great myths that dies hard is that young people, because they've been raised with advanced computer technology, just understand this stuff intuitively. They know how to take selfies and upload them, and post on various social media platforms. But the number who don't know how to do a search on a library database makes me weep.
