Has any state unveiled a re-opening plan that prioritizes childcare? It boggles my mind how anyone thinks people can go back to work if their kids are still home all day!!
A friend just suggested to our friend with a five year old that they just drop her off at the zoo, since that will be open!
there is no possible way we can have open without providing support for childcare.
Every day is bring your daughter (or son) to work day!
Thanks everyone for the hand sanitizer stuff. I will PM you Cashmere, because that sort of seems the easiest.
We are "most likely" not having in person didactic education in the fall. This is so stressful. There are ways to do good online classes, but this is not it. If you are going online you need to plan for actual online education. And some things do not compute that way—- how do people conduct a health assessment that is in person while maintaining 6 foot distance!?!
Yeah, my governor also put out a roadmap for moving forward. It's pretty well 100% focused on what can open when, to the point that even under the final "new normal (No Disruption)" step, you still stay 6 feet away from people you don't live with. There's also a lot of real vague terminology "physical distancing and safe practices" vs "open with adjusted safe practices" vs "fully open with safe practices." Are those explained? No. But the graphics are real pretty, so it's fine.

BWAH I would love that. "Here's $15 for lunch, say hi to the elephants for me see you in 6 hours!"
A number of years ago there seemed to be a wave of parents doing something like this - they'd drop their kids off at a library or toy store and then go on to do something they didn't want to haul the kids along for. This may have been the source of a sign I've seen reading something like, "unattended children will be given espresso and sent home with a puppy".
Being raised by the zoo can't be worse than being raised by wolves, right?
Depends on who, at the zoo, is doing the raising.
I guess hyenas might not be so good
Or pythons.
