I am fretting over another lockdown or whatever 'essential businesses only' looks like this winter. What do you think? Europe is not looking good. Also, our private school with a hybrid model just announced it will go full-remote only Thanksgiving to mid January. Ostensibly due to people traveling and therefore being more potentially contagious than at other times. In any event, I'm just trying to figure out how I should be spending the next few weeks if it seems inevitable we will be in lockdown again. I want to get to the museum, restaurants, etc as much as possible and will catch up with work later on when we are shut. What do you think our timeline is?
It really depends on how closely we hold to the 3% for schools and what the threshold is for indoor activities/businesses. I personally think that 3% should be the business % and 5 should be schools but I have no power.
I think we have 6 weeks until we hit numbers like France. We don't need to wait that long, though, and could do more localized shutdowns. But we probably won't and we will wait until everything has to be shut down for 12 weeks again.
I got my haircut today and picked up some Thai staples. I have also purchased a bunch of new shoes--boots, sli on sneakers, high tops--to get me through a walking winter.
Online yes, but in person Costco has been stocked for weeks with their brand and Bounty. But limited to 1 per purchase. So you pay multiple times checking out in person to get around.
I agree that 3 percent should be business and 5 percent should be schools. but It won't happen.
Agreed. All the rhetoric is about how essential in-person school is (and I agree, and am glad we've been able to achieve it at least part time). Sacrifices need to be made elsewhere to keep them open. Shut down businesses at 3% to slow the spread and buy kids more time in school.
Get a haircut!!!
