Topic: Corona Virus 2020 how does it affect you?

I get it

I'm at the point that I feel it's matter if not if, but when. This is so damn crazy. The world we live in.

Boo, the continuing struggle never lets up. We have lost a lot of things we considered to be normal everyday activities that will never return.
  How is our current reality affecting the students GPA, Shawn? I don’t necessarily mean in your school district, but in general?
  I’m afraid for the kids out there who may never recover in different ways from this time.

Some kids are doing ok and some are doing awful Clint. The biggest thing I think is that with kids this is gonna effect their starting work ethic. I mean some students haven't done anything all year.

I know the only traveling I have done lately is to the woods to hunt. The rates for Covid where I live are really high right now. Somehow I haven't gotten it or don't think I have. Who knows anymore!

Had a near exposure scare at work. I was tested via rapid test and the more accurate send off test, both of which are negative. A deputy I came in contact with did test positive. Luckily, I did not catch it from him.

Glad that came back ok. Our rates where I live are still off the charts. Staff, without kids, are now getting it. Sure hope they let us work from home next week, but doubt it.

COVID would pretty much be a death sentence for me as well. Since I have asthma.

That sounded close, RC

51 year old smoker here. I don’t think COVID would grant me much of a chance either. A fools chance

We are in orange again this week. Still have to go into work. Man, folks are still walking around without masks, etc. Sure hope that vaccine gets the green light.

The situation in austria is not the best. We had the first hard lockdown back in march. The numbers were pretty low over the summer but at the beginning of November the numbers exploded and we had another lockdown. Tomorrow the second hard lockdown ends and stores can open again. Restaurants and hotels will be closed until the beginning of January. A great burden for the economy.
The government now wants to test the entire population.
I had a PCR-test back in November because I had contact with a potentially infected person at work. My test was negative.
Two days a week I work from home. I try to stay optimistic but it is a tough year.
I wish you guys all the best. I hope it gets better soon.

Good to hear from you Fiala. I have been wondering how it is in other countries. We are just plain nuts over here. We should have shut down again, but think we are trying to just muddle through till the vaccine gets approved.

[JDeck]

Here in VA, theres really not many restrictions. The Govna' ordered that bars be closed at 10:00, like it's gremlins, if you drink past 10 you get the corona. I kind of get it, the clubs downtown, they don't get started till 10. I don't go clubbin'  my local bar is closing jan first, mostly because of being shut down for several months this summer.
Not wearing a mask is now a misdemeanor. The store manager has to call the police. I don't care about the mask thing anymore, it's obviously not working but fighting it is a no win battle.

I've been offered the vaccine thru my job. But I'm unsure about taking it. Because vaccines have had complications in the past.

So for reasons like that, I'm opting to continue doing what I have to stay safe.

The infection map for us is now in the red (we have been orange for the past two weeks) and nothing is closed down or changing. No word about mask use, etc. It is just nuts around where I live. And I live in a very rural area.

I hate to say it but personal freedom has come before the safety and well-being of society. What makes us the best country in the world is also killing us.
