Interestingly enough, these populations have consistently been against F2F school in the fall. Maybe because of their already higher risk and not wanting to increase it? Most lower income people know someone who had a bad covid outcome.
So somewhat OT but our daughter had a reasonably lucrative baby sitting gig in this town right on the Canadian border about 40 minutes north of Burlington. Heading up there for her second day the mom says oh btw our last sitter who the kids saw a week prior is sick and positive. Of course neither she nor the kids wore masks indoors the previous day. She called the VT public health department and they told her not to worry. She decided to quarantine and was tested yesterday for the 2nd time since moving there 7/1. Negative results today is a huge relief! She’ll celebrate by climbing Mt Ascutney wIth a friend.
Hot morning-rare and special to be this warm around here at daybreak. I echo Kevin’s sadness over the loss of light-I hate that part of autumn more than anything!
