Sorry about that In other countries, the rate of infections / deaths slowed down and that's not an unreasonable expectation for US - but we're not at peak yet Reality is that our lives are going to be very different for 3 - 6 more months, then just "different" after that. Good luck to you and your employer My guess is that we will look back and note how life was different before corona, similar to how we say life was different before 911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School districts are resisting or delaying closure because segments of their student body depend on the school system for basic necessities like food, running water, shelter and supervision. While I don’t disagree that this will allow for good reflection on how we do things, kids’ necessities isn’t the only reason schools don’t want to close. Something no one talks about is that if schools wish to go online-only during this period, by law, they are required to give full education. Full meaning special education and speech and everything else. How many districts can afford to send in-home paras, special Ed teachers, and speech pathologists to every home that needs them? If a school can’t do that, then they have to completely close. (I will abbreviate the evident things here, like closing schools means kids at school which means keeping some parents who are nurses and doctors at home, the inability to pay certified school employees [as it’s not legal to pay them when they’re not working], and all others.) There are more problems than what people are wanting to complain about right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crfalker05 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I work at a major academic hospital in the Midwest. RN staff was told today to not plan any vacations until the end of April best case scenario and they need to be able to show up to work within 2 hours notice. Obviously, preparing for doomsday, but it sounds like we’re expecting it to hit the fan over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
