We had planned to leave yesterday to go visit Josh's sister for the weekend.

Wednesday night, her husband started coughing. He got vaccinated (J&J) back in April, but he got a test yesterday in an abundance of caution. He got the results today. He has COVID.

I'm so glad he got tested. His symptoms are very, very mild. I'm so glad he even had symptoms at all because we would all have gone and potentially gotten sick.

On Friday, my kid is supposed to go back to school in a district where I don't think they're going to be doing any mitigation measures anymore. None. She's going to wear a mask, but I'm pretty sure nobody else (adults included) will be. In two weeks, I'm going back to work and we're not socially distancing or requiring masks or requiring vaccines. I keep hoping that some of this is going to change in the next week. *sigh*

But for now I am deeply grateful that for at least a little while longer my family is safe.

So much kudos to your brother-in-law for getting tested! It really is about respecting and protecting others.

(I wish the schools were doing their part, gah!)

My state is being so stupid about this and I can't see me taking my mask off for a LONG time.

That was a close call - I'm glad you got the news before you left, though I'm sorry he's sick.

We are still moving ahead with reopening but with masks in place for everyone in the office. We'll see how it goes I guess.

Yeah, I'm not particularly worried about in the office (most of my coworkers are vaccinated and they just renovated the space and upgraded the air filters, though there are still questions about eating in shared spaces and it's now a completely open office plan), but I am anxious about the subway (for all of us!), and the fact that many of them have kids under 12 who can't be vaxxed yet.

Oof, glad you were able to avoid that.

I hope there won't be any bullying or negative reactions to her wearing a mask, considering many of these kids will have heard anti-vax/anti-mask sentiments from their parents.

Oh right, I keep forgetting you guys were already doing in-person school this past year, too. Ugh. *hugs*

Oh, damn. I'm glad he got tested and the rest of you didn't get exposed!

We're back at the office for two days a week now, and it's stunning how even with the best of intentions, just the inability to properly avoid unmasked people can start eroding one's caution. I hate it and am trying to be extra diligent now.

Thank goodness he got tested! I'm glad the symptoms are mild and I hope he recovers quickly.

Fiona is such a brave and strong little girl! I'm very impressed with her. And her mom. *g*

Ugh, though, that none of the schools are requiring masks or vaccinations. I hope you all stay safe.

My institution is requiring vaccinations for all students and staff without a religious or health exemption and those people are going to have to complete daily monitoring and a weekly test. I hope yours decides to do better with the upsurge in the Delta variant. ♥

I think your institution may have to go back to the sensible measures they had before at least now that the Delta variant is running rampant in the South and is infecting people who've been vaccinated.

I think the government is leaving it up to the school districts to do what they want but I figure most colleges are requiring masks, social distancing and vaccination proof?

From: [personal profile] timespirt
Well, then it's going to be up to the parents. I know I will keep my mask on for the foreseeable future. The government knows squat and I can't be bothered to listen to their flip flops on a daily basis. Odds are sooner or later they may get something right but for now...no frigging way!

Have to hon, this Delta thing is really spreading fast even for vaccinated people. Us with underlying conditions have to be very cautious about all this.
