I knew at the time that my kids would not be going back in three weeks, but I never imagined that six months later we would still be grappling with this. If I had really been paying attention to history I might have had a clue. The Spanish flu pandemic lasted for two years. The really sad thing is that if the whole country had just shut down for three weeks, we could have actually been pretty successful at curtailing the virus. Instead, the lack of leadership coupled with a nation full of spoiled, entitled, put your head in the sand and ignore reality at all costs human beings led us down a dark and frightening rabbit hole.
College Boy still has no return to school date. I see his depression worsening as each day goes by with no word about what to expect. I see no reason for this when every other school in the state has either started or has a plan in place.
On to a new adventure.
