Sadly this is not uncommon. I have seen these same fears in kids who have gone through hurricanes when their family chooses to stay in their residence through the storm. I can remember as a child having fears of being in an iron lung from polio. The current COVID is much worse. I see very little written about the mental health aspect of Covid in children.

^^^^^^

They've been preparing kids to get shot in their desks for a few decades now despite the fact that it is extremely unlikely. Might as well scare them about Da'Vid, too and then wonder why they don't like school.

In the category of unintended consequences - I've been on the phone and emailing with the School District since last week - when we finally tallied up the number of clothing items that have been ruined by whatever cleaning/disinfecting solution the school has decided to use.

We had 9 items as of last Friday that have the color bleached/leached out of them and look pretty silly to continue wearing.

I wanted to see if this was an anomaly, so I posted into a closed FB group and received over 150 responses - many of which were teachers and staff seeing the same thing in their clothes. Not one of them mentioned providing feedback to the schools or district. Seeing the number of people experiencing similar issues - including one Mom with 5 kids in school who was pretty distraught at the cost of items she was going to have to replace, I decided to call the school district.

I was very nice in my communications, and was assured they have taken steps to prevent this from occurring in the future - apparently it had to do with storage of the cleaning agent and additional training of the janitorial staff concerning ensuring surfaces dry out or are dried post treatment. Unfortunately another item was discolored yesterday - so maybe their corrective actions are still filtering out to the schools.

How hard is it to find a cleaning/disinfecting agent that doesn't ruin clothes?

The best was the few responses from FB Karens that some ruined clothes were a small price to pay for our kids safety...I didn't even engage - there is no use arguing with those type of idiots...

It wouldn’t matter if the CDC said that only 10 people died from the virus. People have so much fear and emotion invested in this hoax that they will never believe anything but the media’s made up numbers. There’s also people who really like living this way and they’re in no hurry for it to end. This virus has proven that our society is 100 times more stupid and gullible than we ever imagined.

Shouldn't be that hard, but I'd bet they are using a dilute bleach solution for nightly cleaning. Kid sweats a bit and the "dry" bleach is in the clothes. I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing skin irritations if that's the case.

Here is a post my wife just sent me off of her Facebook page of the type of people invading my state and town in oder to escape their leftist utopia. Ungrateful pieces of shit. So typical. They want everything provided by public schools but are ecstatic about the lower taxes they are now paying. So what will they do? No doubt they'll vote for higher taxes so the government will provide extracurricular activities that most here in Park City know are paid for outside of the public dole. I pay to have my daughter get ski lessons. I pay for her to take gymnastics. I pay for her to take swimming. I pay for her take dance. I don't need the fucking government to offer such things.

Damned Californian, leftist implants! GET. OUT.

And school security? Here in Utah, teachers and parents alike can carry as they please within the public schools. We have all the security the 2nd amendment provides.

I feel your pain. These assholes have already invaded here for many years now too. Property taxes and traffic are insane. The amount of California plates I see on a daily basis is insane. I no longer want to stay in TX and I am a native. All the California people and we have the highest amount of H1B visas in the US. I wish I could leave now. It's infuriating. They Cali fucktards are big politically too. So get ready for them to band together to try and change your laws and elected leaders. It's a shit show all around. Watch TX for it going blue. May not be the whole state, but just watch the districts go from red to blue. You'll know exactly why. We welcome veterans, Police, EMS, Firefighters, staunch 2A folks, conservatives. Liberals, get the fuck out. Move some place else, preferably to Han's island. I wish we could tax California transplants 100k each to deter them from coming here.

I sympathize with your antipathy towards Cali Libtards. However, as one of the handful of conservatives hoping to one day escape this place, I am quite happy that you cannot taxi Cali transplants.

Liberalism is a disease, a mental defect, or both. I wish it could be eradicated as much as you do, and perhaps more. However, I am not prejudiced against people based on where they were born, where their families may have spent generations building businesses.

SLOSIG, (and more importantly all you Sig Forum members who don't live in California) Don't sell the California conservatives short. In the 2016 California presidential election 75% voter turnout, 8 3/4 million votes for Clinton, close to 4 1/2 million votes for Donald Trump. There are a hell of a lot of good people living in rural California, people you would value as good neighbors and good friends if they moved into your state (and the same goes for the rural citizens of Oregon and Washington). SLOSIG, You are stuck, like many in California, given your business, it's not easy for you to pack up your orchards and relocate to a red state.
What infuriates me about some of these Californians is that they assume that everyone else should change to accommodate them instead of them changing to accommodate their new neighbors.
When I moved here 2 years ago I looked forward to embracing the southern lifestyle. Other transplants from New York and New Jersey just complained because the pizza and delis weren't like it was "back home". New York Pizza might be the best in the world (according to them) but here, I'll take Shrimp and Grits over pizza anyday.

Most normal soaps/detergents alone will kill the virus, it's not that difficult.

In fact, hand sanitizers with too much alcohol are ineffective as the water acts as a vessel for the alcohol to pierce the membrane of the virus. If there's no or too little water, the alcohol alone is rendered mostly useless.

Seems Kate Brown has been in the news a bit lately and working overtime thinking up all sorts of creative ideas. Her latest for today is an order to extend Oregon's Covid-19 state of emergency until November 3rd. That's right, election day.

Our Gov Wolf has extended his emergency declaration another 90 days.

Another COVID-19 effect:

“Zoom surged in early trading Tuesday, making the video conferencing company more valuable than well-established companies in the auto and aviation industries.

The shares rose 33 percent to $432.45, pushing Zoom's market value to nearly $122 billion, after it reported explosive growth during the second quarter as more people paid for subscriptions.

Zoom's revenue more than quadrupled from the same time last year to $663.5 million and profits blew past Wall Street forecasts.

At the current level, Zoom's market value exceeds that of two storied automakers, General Motors and Ford, combined, as well the value of aviation giant Boeing and consumer favorite Starbucks…”

My freshman daughter has Just gotten caught in The Great College COVID Bait and Switch of 2020. 5 days of classes with an undergrad enrollment of 23k students and 528 positive cases means they’re coming home. 2.39%. I predicted they wait about 2 weeks, but nope, not even going to pretend they possess any shame. Administration claims they’ll revisit the situation on 9/25 to come back on 10/5. Only a sucker would buy that one. Oh, and they haven’t made a decision yet about any refunds. Just one of many to come.

That price is not sustainable. Trees do not grow to the skies. Telemedicine for example is not what it is cracked up to be.

Nancy Pelosi gets hair done at SF salon in spite of COVID-19 rules

https://nypost.com/2020/09/01/...e-of-covid-19-rules/

It’s ‘hair-esy.’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi got her hair done at a San Francisco salon on Monday — in spite of local coronavirus rules barring indoor personal-care services, Fox News reported.

Security footage obtained by the outlet shows the California Democrat strolling through eSalon in the city’s Pacific Heights neighborhood at around 3:10 p.m. on Monday.

She can be seen wearing a black smock with her wet locks slicked back — but no mask on her face.

Hair salons and barber shops in San Francisco have been shuttered since March, and officials on Monday gave the OK to reopen, but for outdoor service only.

Salon owner Erica Kious called the congresswoman’s visit “a slap in the face.”



“It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” Kious told Fox.

“We’re supposed to look up to this woman, right?” Kious added. “It is just disturbing.”

One of the independent stylists Kious works with reached out to her on Sunday night and requested to rent a chair in the salon for an appointment.

“I’ll be there at 2:45 tomorrow. Pelosi assistant just messaged me to do her hair,” the stylist wrote in a text message to Kious published by Fox.

Kious replied: “Pelosi?”

“I was like, are you kidding me right now?,” she told the outlet.

In a statement to The Post, Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill insisted that the speaker was following the rules — as explained to her by the salon.

“This business offered for the Speaker to come in on Monday and told her they were allowed by the city to have one customer at a time in the business,” he said. “The Speaker complied with the rules as presented to her by this establishment.”

“The speaker always wears a mask and complies with local COVID requirements,” Hammill added.

It’s unclear whether the salon actually did have such an allowance from the city. Kious didn’t immediately return a call from The Post.

The photos of that Mayor having dinner in another city, chilling with no mask, was on the nose, too.
