That's when life will get back to normal after Covid-19. No time soon.
Our local school board met on Thursday night and voted to delay our schools' reopening by a month. Now staff go back August 24 (instead of late July) and students go back the day after Labor Day, September 8th. We were set to begin a modified year-round schedule this year, but now that's been delayed to 2021-2022. Our Superintendent said (wisely, I thought) that he couldn't justify sending thousands of students back to school in five weeks with the way things are going in South Carolina. Today we set a record....again....for new C19 cases and all of a sudden we're one of the new hotspots. Who knows if school will be able to reopen even after delaying a month? Right now they're just buying time to try and work out safety protocols, and the Superintendent even said, bluntly, that we'll be watching other schools reopen ahead of us and getting an idea of what's working and what's not. I'm really, really grateful for him. He's relatively new to the district and very forward thinking and progressive. I just hope, no matter what happens with the district, that my job will be safe once this crisis is over.
Meanwhile, toilet paper supplies are almost back to normal around here. How's the TP supply in your area? The main things I still see shortages of around here are hand soap, rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and Lysol wipes. Today I went ahead and stocked back up on the toilet paper. The plan is to replenish my pantry and freezer within the next couple of weeks, because I have a feeling that no matter how much our "guhvuhnuh" McMaster doesn't want to shut us down again, he'll have no choice before much longer. And if not now, then early in the fall when the second wave hits. Wait until flu season gets here on top of C19. I shudder to think of it.
What do you say? I know some of my readers live in other developing hotspots. Are you preparing for a second lockdown/shelter in place scenario?
My guess is that due to human behavior and so many people not wearing masks and maintaining six foot separations, most every state will have second waves of infections. There are hot spots here in California even as our Governor Newsom is phasing out the lockdown. On the bright side TP is available here too and I just scored some Lysol wipes, by luck. Sort of sounds like a drug deal doesn't it? I bought some pretty cotton face masks at the Gap online. Be well and I think they will need you, so your job will be safe!

tp and paper towels are in stock again at my local market. I just scored a bottle of bleach for the first time in months this past week. my part of PA is just starting to open up again, with masks/6' distancing/occupancy restrictions in place.
ReplyDeletespouse is still working from home until 7/15. I'm back at the office, cause there are only 7 of us in the place. let's see what happens tomorrow; one day at a time.
I have tons of TP. Enola, where I live, had 17 cases about 2 weeks ago, that might have changed. We're a bit north of Harrisburg. The farther south and east you went, the worse it got. Right now, the smart ones around me, are concerned that people from the south are going to come north to get away from it.
ReplyDeleteI think there will be a second wave and it will worse. I've been building up our pantry and did score Lysol wipes at costco.Here in Northern Ca, I'm above Sacramento, there are lots of new cases. I'm not going out much except to the doctor and the grocery store. I'm planning on getting my flu shot as soon as there out because I think there will be a shortage.
ReplyDeleteHere in PA, we went thru a rough period but we have a very good Governor who coordinated with the Governors of NY, CN, and NJ to get PPE and other essentials and quickly enacted a plan to fight this virus. Many were angry because he did not open quickly enough. We completely opened up in my county yesterday and It is expected that our numbers will rise again but not at the rate it was. I hope they are right. I have no intention of dining out or going to the movies or any indoor function. I am getting used to take out and Netflix.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe, Jennifer.
I'm just doing what I've been doing. Trying to keep on top of supplies and making use of everything I can. Also, staying home as much as possible. Because you know- Florida. I don't think we've even gotten through the first wave yet and can't even imagine the second. Even our governor is backtracking a little bit on opening up. I guess it just doesn't look that good to have the record number of new cases in a day. And what are all these Trump butt-kissing governors going to do as Trump's numbers fall lower and lower? That's going to be interesting to watch.
ReplyDeleteI think your precautions are wise, and I do hope and pray that you and the school system remain together.
ReplyDeleteWe are preparing as the number of cases are rising daily here and several area cities, including Kansas City, now have requirements for wearing masks inside public places. We can get toliet paper now but we still can not get the other items you mentioned such as rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and Lysol wipes. Liquid hand soap can on be found on a lucky day so I need to stock up on that. Some food items still can not be found but most are available. After staying in for three months we have been out a lot in June for family celebrations. The last one, my grandson's graduation, was today so we will be stayin in again now. I think your school is smart to delay the opening. I'd hate to imagine Covid going through a school!

Dear Jennifer, I am truly glad that your superintendent is a reasonable person who takes wise decisions. Nobody can really know what things will be like at the end of August, but I, too, guess that it will take a long time before something like normaiity sets in again.
ReplyDeleteOver here, most of life feels very much as before, if it weren't for the masks we are required to wear when shopping and on public transport. The initial shortages of toilet paper, flour, pasta and yeast only lasted for a few weeks. All shops have been well stocked again since mid-April.
Most of those goods you've mentioned are still hard to find. Very hit or miss. Our governor did a pretty good job--we've slowly reopened, but the usual idiots are everywhere. Still, our numbers are in a downward trend. For how long is the question.
ReplyDeleteSchool situation has not yet been finalized here--county by county decisions, but we don't normally start up until after Labor Day anyway. Hearing our county might have a split school week--Mo/Tu with half the students--Th/Fr with the other half; Wednesday would be the disinfecting day. However, teachers would be pushed to the limits as they would also have to continue online teaching as well. It's a potential plan for at least for the first quarter. Just very, very hard for everyone. Kids, parents, teachers/school staff.
It sounds like your superintendent should be president!
ReplyDeleteWe don't know what's going to happen next. We're still reopening, with numbers staying steadily low, but there have been HUGE unauthorized gatherings over the past week at street parties, the beach, etc. so I expect our numbers will be going up again in a very short time.
We did our weekly shopping on Saturday; we were running low on TP. We found plenty. We wondered if the surge in AZ would recreate the hysteria from last month. TBA
ReplyDeleteIt seems as that in central Virginia, supplies are back to normal except for anything with disinfectant in them. I have no idea if we are going back to school in September or not. The district has put forth various opening scenarios. They all are awful as online learning just doesn't work in my opinion. And the fact that people aren't wearing masks...that so ticks me off!
ReplyDeleteWe're the hottest of the hot spots now. I think a second lock down will be a necessity. We don't seem to have any shortages, except for hamburger. Even Wendy's doesn't have hamburger. Toilet paper has been readily available for about a month. Carol and I went to Costco last week and got a big package of t.p., enough to last many weeks. I think you're safer with the schools closed, although I'm sure you're tired of staying at home.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I can't believe you're still experiencing supply shortages. That was a very brief experience here. Most was back to normal within the first two weeks. It's that every man for himself attitude I guess. Even here, we're expecting a second wave now that things are opening back up (within reason). A bit nervous about the borders opening. The States hasn't even gotten through the first wave yet.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how people here in England and over there in South Carolina went crazy for toilet rolls. There seemed to be no logic to it. After the toilet paper all the flour disappeared from our supermarkets. Now supplies are pretty much back to normal. One thing is sure - the COVID death tally is not finished by a long, long way. Trump is certain to be fighting for a second term with COVID still in the air - in spite of his futile attempts to ignore it.
