$130 a day??? **** THAT. That’s minimum wage in some states.

My thoughts exactly, and this is the district in town with the most money. In fairness to them the $130/day is Mon-Thu, if you work Fri they will give you $140!

The disconnect between people wanting their kids out of the house so desperately and the value they place on the people that make it happen is pretty damn sad. The exact same people crying about their kids needing to be in school are the ones who hate on all the "liberal" teachers and rail against taxes.

If there isn't a problem as the deniers appear to be saying then why are Hospitals reacting the way they are? I don't remember hospitals acting like during normal flu seasons. Cancelling elective surgeries is NOT PROFITABLE. So, why are they doing it?

I really do not get this endless fight against testing and masks. It's confusing to me.

Because they're fucking stupid.

In my wife’s district they haven’t had subs all year and have given up trying to find them. If kids have a class with the teacher out they send them to the auditorium, cafeteria, or another common space. This is a district with a lot of resources too.

They should hire a certain number of teachers to one- or two-years contracts (school district would have to decide how many, etc.) to act as full-time subs, not trying to find contracted day-to-day subs. Assuming they could/would offer the right pay rate, they could find the staff before other districts could.
 
There was a COVID case at my grandma's memory care facility a couple weeks ago. She has also tested positive as of 11/27, but is showing no symptoms. We suspect she was probably already positive in the days before her PCR test, as there were likely staff walking around with it and until the positive test they had quietly been sneaking some families in even though they shouldn't have.

I suppose it's possible she had a false positive, but it seems unlikely given the situation. Who knew an 83 year-old dementia patient could turn out to be asymptomatic?
 
In Anchorage, our hospitals are reaching capacity, cases are exploding, deaths are climbing. The City has instituted another lockdown.

So naturally all the restaurants and Trumptards are complaining.

Does this person have kids? (many who say crap like that dont)

I have seen first hand how little most people care about teachers anyways...for a second that changed when parents were forced to teach their kids earlier this year but it is back in full force. Parents dont care, the community doesnt care and we all know the Right never cared. Teachers always have to buy their own school supplies (because supplying paper and pencils is Socialism dontcha know) but now in many districts they have to buy their own PPE and sanitizer and stuff. Its a joke how teachers are treated in this country...

And of course there is situations like UCLA where nurses are pizzed because they cant even get tested for the virus but the athletes get tested regularly.

America sucks.

Of course it won't. If there ever was a time for people to realize how underpaid teachers are this would be it, but I'm guessing nothing will change. Our district is on e-learning for the rest of the semester due to lack of subs to help keep schools open while teachers have to quarantine. They sent an email to all parents looking for subs for the 2nd semester, anyone with a bachelors degree that can pass a background check they'll take. They're offering $130/day.... I'd rather go work the McD's drive-thru for the same pay.

Go read the Hockey Least thread*. Same mentality. People are supposed to be willing to work thru anything like martyrs because folk are tired of the pandemic. They are not supposed to expect any thankfulness, safety, support or responsibility from their employer and/or the public. They are supposed to carry on, like good little expendable resources because people need to forget reality.

This says a lot about the degradation of our societal values. The people who are supposedly the 'Moral Majority' are really the morally corrupt :(

*we are all idiots in this thread because we post resources and sources when we say something. I have a lot of them blocked but they are quoted in there. Holy sh1t! There are some really, really dumb people in the world

He does have kids and is convinced their needs aren’t being addressed.

It is amazing how I didn't really know anyone who had gotten Covid in the Spring and now it seems like there is just a flood of people I work with (remotely) that have contracted it or have come in contact with someone who has contracted it.

We have had a steady stream but in the last few days- not counting people from work- mr les quarantined, 2 family members acutely recovering, 2 more who are farther in and just revealed, 2 friends recovering- ditto, one more exposed and on tender hooks. If I were to count people from work setting- uh, yuck.
 
We've had quite a few become exposed in recent weeks in my former/future department, with a decent amount of positives. They paid out over 100 OT shifts PER WEEK in November (1st OT shift for the month is 1.5x, all others are 2x). God forbid they recall anyone.
 
Luckily 50% of our staff has been WAH but we still have roughly 3k employees using one of three sites near me. With that said all sites are extremely socially distanced with respect to proximity to another employee, all conference rooms are closed off, all canteens closed, you are not allowed to have anyone in your office but yourself, any meeting of any type is video conference only, every other stall in the restrooms is closed, even elevators are sectioned off to only allow access to certain floors with no more than 2 people on an elevator at a time, every work space is cleaned 3x daily, etc. As such we've had 1 known employee test positive and that was in July.
 
20 Covid deaths reported in Maine today and we now have 136 people hospitalized. Through the end of October we only had one or two Covid deaths a week and only around a dozen people hospitalized at any given time.
