San Antonio be fucked. 638 new cases yesterday. The past few weeks are a complete shit show and on a horrible, catastrophic trajectory.
I just got back from picking up a curbside order from HEB -- yes, they were open -- and it was unusually crowded in the parking lot. The girl loading the groceries told me that they were having another run with orders for the next day increasing quickly (even though I just checked the app and they still have a bunch of open slots tomorrow afternoon). I guess it's time to start hoarding toilet paper again and not being able to buy pasta. Just fucking great.
I am beyond frustrated with all of this. I have been living like a got dam monk for three months plus and shit is worse than ever, and getting rapidly more awful. I'm increasingly getting mad at myself for adhering to extreme social distancing, working from home, etc. On the plus side, I'm not sick and nobody in my family is sick. But what the fuck am I doing all this for so every asshole can irresponsibly do whatever they want, ultimately forcing everybody else back into this shit storm? People suck.
And to top it off, the school district sent out an email and in the next two weeks we have to choose whether our kids will distance learn or be on site in the fall. You have to pick one or the other, in the next two weeks. And the way I'm interpreting it is that you are stuck with that decision for the school year or at least the first semester. Really? Looking at that trend line above, I have a feeling that they are all going to have to move to distance learning regardless, but how in the blue fuck am I supposed to make that decision right now? My kids didn't learn shit in distance learning this spring. It was a terrible experience for them and for us. And now I get to choose between their educational and social development and rolling the dice with their/our health, with no option to change our mind based on how the virus progresses in the community.
