Willow ,'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Test~ma, Cashmere. I'm also angry with the lack of leadership that's led to where we are, both with the virus and with police violence.
Statewide, we're opening up in stages. We've also seen a notable rise in cases, likely due to people being stupid over Memorial Day. County-wide, they're implementing mandatory face masks in all public places on Friday. Not sure if the people who drive in to shop from one county over will know.
Aaaaaand they ran out of tests. Again.
Oh no, Cash.
I'm sorry about the restaurant, Amy.
Sheryl, I missed the Nova update. Good to know the cat is doing better.
It feels like Ohio has given up, just in time for me to start working with the public next week. Our administration has decided that we cannot require customers to wear masks. Apparently we can't even suggest it and provide the masks. (I guess because we're a public space and they are afraid of litigation like whoa.)
That is hard for me to wrap my mind around.
M's work is facing the same thing, flea. He's done as much as is allowed, like removing chairs from the common areas and putting up barriers between desks, but they can't require masks or wellness checks, lest they take on legal responsibility for their customers' health. It's scary.
Flea, our board met last night to go over the opening plan. We are shooting for the 22nd. But our plexiglass shields aren't shipping until the 19th.
Back in line for a test this morning.
I hope you can get tested today, Cashmere. My negativity was reassuring.
In discussions with my doctor's office manager this morning about my annual trek north for the summer. All will be fine once I get there, but I'll have about 12 rest stops along the way through Florida, Georgia, Carolinas, etc. before I get there. So many people and rest rooms. Then I would really have to isolate from my NY family for a couple weeks after I arrive. Both my family and my physicians have real concerns. I know I will be good about masking and hands, but it is a big leap after being isolated for so long. On The Other Hand, it is stupid hot here in the summer and delightfully cool in Otter Lake.

You'd think they'd be afraid of litigation from workers who brought COVID home to vulnerable family members or who had adverse health issues themselves. Because if you're gonna get sued either way, you might as well do the right thing.

Ugh, that's so scary. For Cashmere and M, too.
Meanwhile, I saw an old guy be turned away from the local farmers market yesterday because he didn't have a mask. The market is outdoors and spread out and anything you could try to do to make it safer.
