OK DAY! (Sort OF)

Today we are ok quarantine wise its been 14 days without a confirmed exposure event on the last day of school. Other possible exposure events include visiting greenhouse (albeit alone), grocery deliveries and walks around the neighborhood. We learned that it can live on surfaces for 9+ days and the freezer don't kill it. It just preserves it. Yikes. We have to take all the shit out of the freezer and bleach it, thaw and drain the freezer and then sterilize it. Yaaaay. ______School statewide and school districts still don't know what to do. Seniors seem to be the focus. The generation seniors started their lives amid 9-11 and are finishing school in Covid Outbreak. They will have an asterisk by their names for years to come. Basically I think they are going to make it whatever your grades were before the shutdown, let you make up work, and wave a bunch of stuff. After that I don't know. I don't know how packing 1500 kids into a big box high school is going to be reasonable for a while now. _____I also think about the kids who graduated now are around now and the lives they led up until this point. We were already seeing massive complaints from the world of work and most industries that their generation was struggling to show up on time, show up regularly, and to stick with jobs and companies for very long. It is just so easy to sit at home and play video games and get lost in our devices. How will the kids born a couple years ago till now and for the next couple of years be defined? The generation Z is both oddly equipped to stay home and chill and also it will be their biggest issue. When going outside and seeing others has been stripped away do you think they will appreciate it, school, life outside in general, after this is over? I don't know. _____I write from our new and evolving office. We have the whole upstairs getting retooled for play, crafts, costumes, music and a work station. That along with the yard coming together we have a lot to keep up busy. Biggie is talking so much. We are a good little unit. Ups and downs every day but we're holding on. Now that we are likely clear (especially by Monday) what will we do with our new found freedom? Nothing. Either we haven't had it and can still get it or we have had it and didn't know it and are immune for a while. SARS folks enjoyed nearly 10 years ish of immunity. MERS only a couple years. This likely won't last more than a year till the next version comes along. The hammer and dance method is going to become a reality and closures will roll around like snow delays and closures till a vaccine comes along. Even then the anti vaxxers will be up in arms. _____Things that I'm going to appreciate if and when this is over: My kid playing with other kids. Not having to smell or touch bleach as regularly, sitting at a restaurant, grocery shopping, live music.
