Hard to reconcile my "they get what they deserve" feelings with it being a person that I knew and liked.

Nah. Way past that.

"They get what they deserve" is for Falcons fans.

Spreading an well-known epidemic that's the second biggest cause of death in the country at risk to yourself, your family and your country? When their are obvious and free protections for others (masks, social distancing) and yourself (those two plus a largely proven vaccine)?

Sorry, Charlie, I'm pretty much in a combination of schadenfruede + Darwin cheerleader territory here.

I wish I had saved the school district COVID info from last year. But based on what I remember, I believe they have about 50% of last years student and staff positive reports in just 2.5 weeks this year.

We have more than at any point last year. We're a month into school and I have kids I've barely seen. Have had half empty classes. Kids aren't taking anything seriously because none of it feels like "real" school. It's a mess. And I think I've made a very difficult decision that I will be leaving the education field.

I’d say it’s around 60% in gulf breeze.

Rural Ms it's less than 20% and those people get stared down. Then again, we have the highest death rate in the country.

Then again, I don't wear a mask unless I have to. My immunity level has to be sky high now.

Very sorry to hear all of that

Who knows. Honestly I'm still trying to figure out how taking a dewormer helps flu like symptoms
