You folks seem to be arguing that the institution in charge of educating kids can be allowed to be stupid itself!

My argument has been, simply put, that some of the structural forces at play damn near force them to be stupid on occasion, and this isn't the only place. Schools are the ultimate example of organizations that are serving multiple conflicting masters.

Logistics and the allocation of scarce resources, not to mention public health in general, used to be something the United States was a leader at.

....while the rollout of a number of different vaccines, each with different protocols, would necessarily be difficult, watching how badly it has unfolded has been eye-opening.

If we had anything resembling a standard protocol in play, it wouldn't be nearly as bad. But we didn't.

Just a heads up for all you smokers out there. If you ever get a lung infection like my dad did, all those years of ruining your lungs will come to haunt you... as it has now with my dad.

This was how it played out with my mother many years ago, too.

I have missed a lot of celebrations of life. Including Weddings whose ceremonies were delayed. Stay safe everyone.
