All music made after 1979 is garbage, and other interesting facts. I wear an N95 in all indoor spaces, because I'm not a selfish idiot.

Just got off the phone with an old friend. He got COVID Thursday, and is "glad that's over with."
He's flying to Toronto to visit family, tomorrow. He said "that'll be five days, like they advise".
He says he "feels a lot better, but throat sore and still coughing a lot".

Your well-intentioned idealism clashes with reality. This mostly occurs in settings where bad policy exists, requiring the baggy blue (like in N.S. hospitals). There are only two alternatives: Wear baggy blue over N95, or wear ONLY baggy blue. The former is the lesser of evils.

This kind of irresponsible shit needs to stop.
Whether or not they have a fever, if your child is ill at all, with anything contagious, don't send them to school to infect others.
Don't be a shitty human being.
When deciding if your child is too unwell to go to school, one of the key symptoms to look out for is a temperature of 38°C or above.
