D&D and the rising pandemic

[Garthanos]

The dumbasses here in spite of the recent trend of more deaths are talking about sending kids to school instead of keeping it half in half out... I am pissed off my daughter does not need to be a vector.

I keep checking what state you're in to see if its the same one. It's not.

Kosciusko. 4. 1202

Whitley. 1. 252

(formatting looks fine until I hit Send then the spaces collapse together)

We are supposed to believe that none of the counties have the resources to do contact tracing, broad-scale testing, isolation facilities, or take any of the other steps that would put COVID in their rear-view mirror for keeps. Nor can they find the resources nor can they ask each other - or the State - for help.

I bet they have resources for other things though.

Municipalities are not generally free to move money around any way they please. It isn't like you or I, who have one bank account and we spend it as we need it.

There's a surfeit of dumb*sses pretty much everywhere.

Yeah. I live in Washington, which overall has dealt with pandemic control better than some. Unfortunately, my county and other more eastern regions of my state refused for the longest time to do simple things, like mask mandates, shut down unessential businesses, ban large gatherings and the like. This caused a rise in cases in our areas for a long time, until we finally started putting those in place months after the other regions of the state.

Surprise, surprise. Only a few weeks after my city forced people to wear masks in public, our cases and deaths started plummeting. It's not like anyone could've predicted that

I'm well aware of that. But there's still things that can be done other than sticking your municipal head in the sand, shrugging, & hoping it just passes by.
