Are people without kids or without someone in their life who works in a school aware of how bad things are right now?

My partner teaches a grade 1-2 split, and almost a third of her class has been off sick at any give time since late October.

It's similar in other classes at her school, and talking to other teachers, at other schools too. Just a huge amount of learning being missed by students, and a massive toll on parents who have to
a) take time off with sick kids, and
b) take more time off when they get sick

We have a two year old, and either her, my partner, or I have been sick at any given time since late Oct. I just got over the last one, and now the toddler is down again. It's fucking exhausting.

"Rest and get your immunity back up."

Rest? With a sick kid at home? Lol.

#VaccinesWork
With both #COVID19 and the flu circulating this fall, this will be the most important #FluSeason of our lifetime.

So let me be clear - the best way to prevent the #flu is to get the flu vaccine.
That’s why my fall #COVID19 prescription is two-fold. We must continue practicing the 3 W’s. And we must use every lever to ensure all ages, races and ethnicities, and geographies receive recommended vaccinations. Image

RECKLESSNESS that warrants a quick thread: Customs and border patrol (CBP) will not allow flu immunizations at immigrant detention camps...not even when PRIVATE individuals offer to provide them at no cost to the government. 1/ thebulwark.com/why-is-the-u-s…
The flu is a dangerous virus that can be controlled with annual immunization. In the winter of 2017-18, the flu and its complications killed 80,000 Americans. The CDC is adamant about the need to immunize children seeking asylum against the flu. 2/ statnews.com/2018/09/26/cdc…
ALSO, medical exams are generally mandatory for all refugees coming into the country and all applicants outside the U.S. applying for an immigrant visa. The U.S. can turn individuals lack of proof of vaccinations. That includes people with the flu. 3/ #immigration #FluSeason
