In case I need to clarify since it was said in response to me, I agree 100%. Not a fan of Long Island Iced Pee, and would hope that no one is.
I didnât mean âyouâ specifically I meant the general âyouâ
Glad to hear you arenât ingesting your own fluids LOL
When people would cross the border from Mexico into Arizona (not through a legal border crossing), they would often discover they did not have enough water and the desert is brutal. Some would only survive by drinking their own urine. So in that situation, I would probably do it too, but thatâs the only one!
I was terrified. Ha ha
So, I was curious who âChiseâ is exactlyâŚ
Bio on Twitter is a bit vague, no verified mark.
But a lot of really solid people follow her. And tag her for her take on various things, very much giving credence to her opinion. (Iâve been following her for awhile.)
Intriguing backstoryâŚand even a Disney tie-inâŚ
Super interesting tweet thread out of San Francisco.
TL;DR 1/3 hospitalized âwith Covidâ, 2/3 âfor Covidâ. 5-10% of Americans likely have an active infection right now.
Background SF vax data:
Here are the bookend tweets and a chart from the middle. Whole thread worth a read though.

From our kidsâ school:
âToday we received confirmation that ten students and two adults have tested positive for COVID-19.â
We have only ever had max 2 people test positive on a single day that I can remember. And most people are probably not testing or fully reporting.
Linda Bauld is in that article. Is she someone you guys know of across the pond? Sheâs always on the radio here. She seems sensible.
We had 37 cases yesterday in our district. That was not including the weekend numbers. I believe that may be the highest we have had yet. Today it is 20 cases. Our school district is about 1100ish students I believe. Numbers have been high since they went back to school.
No, I wasnât familiar with her. Added. (I see sheâs followed by Christina Pagel, among others, that Iâve been following. And Pagel doesnât follow a whole lot of people, which is often meaningful. SAGE also follows her.)
Linda Bauld and Jason Leitch are the public health consultants that are often on Radio Scotland. Leitch is our clinical director.
Theyâre both straight talking kind of people
I donât get it. I waited day after day for the military base to offer the Pfizer booster for my 2 sons who are ages 12 - 15, b/c itâs just easier to go there and not have to go transfer the info into their medical records. In the meantime places like pharmacies and even grocery stores started advertising that theyâd give this booster. Today they put a banner up on the website to our closest base saying that they arenât going to offer the boosters for kids as young as 12. No explanation. And they have tons of availability, all the time. I just donât get it, but Iâve made appts at a pharmacy now. It kind of worries me b/c it makes me wonder if I should. But the older child just had to return to in person school despite our huge covid #s in the area so weâd like for them to have the booster. Also, I have no idea what to do about DD10 going to tap class. Sheâs the only one there who wears a mask during the class. I thought I could finally feel good about taking this risk now that she has the vaccine but I did hold her out of class yesterday. Sigh.
What are you wondering about? Just curious.
Like them not offering it is an non-endorsement?
My DS12 grade (32) has 3 confirmed cases since Friday. At least 3 others where out today. He just needs to stay healthy until his booster Friday.
Yeah, we have some of those situations and itâs a struggle. I think thereâs a decent chance my kids will pick it up at school, so weâre trying to minimize places we could spread it to.
Itâs not something to be nonchalant about getting (mostly due to long covid, including possibility of cumulative detrimental effects), but Iâm more worried about contributing to spread.
In the fall until mid-December, our church had a mask-required group for the DS12s (about 8-12 kids attending) as an alternative to the mask-optional one. (I think everything else our church is doing is mask-optional besides online services.). They merged them into one mask-optional group yesterday. Weâre sitting it out until things get better. My napkin says best case scenario to get back to âmoderateâ (yellow below) is probably mid-March. Thatâs a long time. Again.
This level of adulting is exhausting.
Got a follow-up email that one of the individuals is in DD7âs class.
Then another follow-up email that the person is on DD7âs bus.
Expecting another email saying the person is DD7.
Yes, it does seem like a non endorsement. But, I suspect itâs more about not having enough personnel, or not having enough supply etc. They just didnât say.
Yeah, I wouldnât read too much into it. If youâre concerned, Iâd call your pediatrician. Iâm sure theyâd be open to questions.
I agree about the level of adulting. I feel like there is so much chaos inside my head! Normally Iâm a sort of high strung, and yet very level headed person. I tend to do my own thing and feel confident about it. Once I make my list for the day Iâm good. Lately it seems like stuff is just all over the place. They just sent my DS15 back to school today and I totally had thought that was not going to happen. We just found out Mon night that he was actually going back. The school pcr tested everyone and now theyâre doing that every week. The other kids, different school, get covid tested on Fri and then weâll see if they end up sending them back in person next Tues as planned. I just never know day by day what to plan for that itâs exhausting. Several important tests etc have been rescheduled so many times and we already had one child do poorly on one that they were surprised by. If it had happened the two times it was originally scheduled we knew to have him study for it. Child is not old enough to be 100% on top of all this stuff all the time yet.
