Hil, I think the University systems are just breaking under this weight.
I know think the real reason my area's return to the office got pushed back indefinitely is testing capacity, which makes some sense, but is still frustrating to me, since I wanted to get out of the house!
On the other hand, someone in my band tested positive earlier this week, so now I'm on pins and needles waiting for the results of the test I took last night. Last time I did this, there was no line and I had the results in the morning. Yesterday, there were a bunch of people there with me.
My niece (a teacher) was sent to the hospital a short time ago. My nephew is on his way there now. School thought she might have been having a panic attack but sent her to the ER. Let's send some ~ma for panic attack and not something respiratory. She has asthma and although vaccinated long ago a breakthrough infection could hit her hard. School just started here Tuesday, but like most teachers she was there all last week too.
Oh no, Laura. Here's hoping!
Fingers crossed for your niece, Laura!!
Her 11-year-old son goes to the same school so my sister is picking him up. She was already planning on picking him up to take him to soccer practice. Even if they have released her chances are the kid won't want to go to practice now. She has a lot going on, and of course all teachers are overwhelmed these days. It is a K-12 school and she teaches 5 levels of Spanish. She was just saying a couple of days ago that it was easier this year because she only had classroom lessons to plan and not both virtual and in person. Masks are mandated in the school. Not sure about vaccines.
Sending all good vibes her way, Laura. Scary no matter what.
Yikes Laura! Good luck to her.
I'm glad they are taking it seriously, Laura, but I hope it isn't serious.
Bad reaction to a supplement change and/or panic attack. She had been taking CBD for anxiety and changed to another brand because her sister-in-law gave it to her, because she had issues with it. So good that it is something easy and not respiratory with her asthma issues. Phew!
