School's back in session and it took less than 2 weeks before covid came home again
God fucking damnit, here we go again. No masks whatsoever, no health restrictions, nothing. Just fucking lies and gaslighting from the government again and again. I'm so sick of this shit.
The assholes won, folks.
Nothing has changed. Two years in a row, the first week of school and the kid brings covid home with them AGAIN. What could go wrong putting a bunch of maskless kids into the same room together
No investment has been made into HVAC or air filtration. We've been dealing with this shit for like four years now. Not to mention the crayon eating chuds are hooting and oinking again about "government tyranny" which they've made up in their heads because nobody is doing shit about fuck right now.
Our minister of health and provincial health officer even made a big press release / media conference about the new variants. Oh so you're going to mandate masks again? No? Impose restrictions on gatherings or schools? No? Do ... anything? Oh, no you're not. Cool thanks for that.
So far I'm not as bad as last year, insofar that I am not in the hospital (yet).
Wish me luck, and I extend the same to any of you dealing with this all over again.
I only ever got Covid once. Wasn't terrible because I was vaccinated, basically like a nasty flu, but I had this awful cough for months afterwards. Couldn't shake it or do anything about it other than take cough medicine and carry around an entire pharmacy of cough drops at all times
What's really frustrating is that I'm a borderline hypochondriac. I wore a mask in public for like a year after just about everyone had taken theirs off.
But I'm at the mercy of the public school system and their rules. We send our kid to school wearing a mask, and when we pick them up they're not wearing it anymore. It's pointless trying to fight it especially when virtually none of the kids are masking. Every day is a roll of the dice.
Everyone is just trying to pretend it's not a thing any more.
Wearing a mask in a crowd of people not wearing them is difficult enough when you’re an adult, I can’t imagine how bad the peer pressure is for kids. It’s so fucking stupid.
Ugh. That's really rough, and super fucking unfair. I hope you and your family recover well from it. I hope you can get paxlovid. And I hope none of you get long covid or any other serious complications. What an evil fucking system we live in, where the danger is clear in sight, and everyone is just herded into the path of danger so the rich can get their profits. I wish the best to all of you.

Sorry, comrade. May wanna consider nasal spraying your kid in the morning for an extra bit of protection.
i wish for your quick recovery and optimal recovery. this must be incredibly frustrating for you.
