Here is some form our school system "
The number of positive COVID-19 cases at LPS Aug. 12-19 was four. This includes students and staff testing positive who have been in LPS buildings anytime 48 hours prior to the time of symptoms being exhibited or the positive test was taken. These are cases where LPS has done investigation of potential exposure to others and contact tracing in the school district setting. This also includes all positions and district locations, which refers to school buildings and non-school locations such as Operations, Transportation, District Office and Distribution.

The current number of LPS staff directed to be in self-isolation or in quarantine as of Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 4 p.m. is 35. The number includes staff who are self-isolating due to exhibiting symptoms or have been notified of a high-risk contact with COVID-19, and those who have tested positive for COVID-19 and have been directed to quarantine. This also includes all positions and district locations, which refers to school building and non-school locations such as Operations, Transportation, District Office and Distribution.
 


Meanwhile, one state over, a friend's relative has it. Still breathing, but fever and unable to keep food down for several days. Local hospital is apparently almost a half day wait in the waiting room unless there is trouble breathing.
 

It's infuriating because it doesn't have to be this way.

I can't even imagine how infuriating it is to the people in other countries who are looking at us going through this and saying, "Wow, it must be nice to have so much vaccine around that you guys are complaining about all the people that just won't get vaccinated."

Yep our mass vaccination started end of July.

First roll up roll out place locally I just found out about an hour ago.

Mask mandate came down from high 24 hours after delta arrived.

Meanwhile in some states the school districts are fighting to require masks...

Yeah every three years we essentially elect a dictator with no constitutional restraints. The few ones can be rewritten with 51% support.

Cultural mores are the only thing really restraining them.
That is really not true. New Zealand is a Parliamentary democracy, which means the PM doesn’t actually have much power - Parliament does. Which is why the latest lockdown didn’t happen when the PM wanted it to - but instead it was imposed after Cabinet sat around the table and reached agreement that this was the right thing to do.
