there is no possible way we can have open without providing support for childcare.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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!?!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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!
BWAH I would love that. "Here's $15 for lunch, say hi to the elephants for me see you in 6 hours!"

It would be educational.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
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".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Or pythons.

Thrive to spite them
several months ago there was some grandparents with their grandsons in the store, the boys kept going up the escalator and back down in a loop and they started running and rough housing and I had to say "Please don't run!" a bunch. And another employee overheard the grandparents plan to let the boys play on the escalator while they shopped up stairs. I think right about this time I finally said "please don't play on the escalator" and the grandparents shot me a dirty look.
