Someone working in #AZ told me their governor is doing the same thing. (Well, I'm not sure whether my contact meant restrictions or actively seeking to vaccinate people. It was a short conversation.)
@mangeurdenuage Well, most of the states have certified their results and most of the lawsuits are over. So, barring either a Supreme Court decision or faithless electors at the electoral college, we know #Biden will be the next President, taking over in January.
I'm still trying to avoid nearly all #politics / #USPol / #Election_2020 news and discussion, but it is time for #Trump and his supporters to face reality and accept defeat. A better focus is the upcoming runoff elections for two #GA Senate seats.
Also, according to Politico, #Trump won in #FL, #IA, #OH. #Biden won in #MN, #NH. Maine and Nebraska allocate electoral votes by congressional district. In #ME, one of the two districts went for Biden (the other is not yet projected). In #NE, two of three districts went for Trump.
No results yet for #GA, #NV, #PA, #MI, #TX, WI, #NC.
If you haven’t made an emergency evacuation plan yet, it is time to do so now. Ours is outdated, so needs work.
But basically, if you’ll need to bring it in an emergency, you should know where it is and be able to grab it quickly. If you’ve got pets or children in your home, or if you’ve got someone with health issues, you should never wait until authorities give evacuation orders. Be ready to leave and to get beyond the danger area BEFORE the crowds try to flee.
When #sonTwo and his wife were in #FL, they spent something like 12 hours one time getting from Miami / Ft Lauderdale to Tampa. Another time, they spent over a day getting out of FL into #GA, only to find that there were no places in southern GA with space available ... I think they wound up going to #MS to avoid the storm.
9 students from #GA high school test positive for #COVID-19 after returning to school
The overwhelming majority of these students will not have serious illness, but they do have parents and grandparents at home. This may be a good time to re-think our schools-as-overcrowded-prisons-where-we-confine-people-for-being-too-young system of education.
Some schools in GA reopened this week, and at least one classroom's students and teacher are now on self-isolation after a 2nd grader was discovered to be infected with #COVID-19.
A high school student was suspended after posting a photo of a crowded hallway (no distancing!) full of students without masks, and the principal used the public address system to threaten the other students with the same.
While we were still on the phone, her older brother (I don’t know what state he’s in) texted her to inform her he was being tested for #2019-nCoV at a hospital emergency room.
She did not say whether it was possible that either her mom or herself had been exposed, but last I heard, her parents still lived in the same house.
This is what happens when governors refuse to do their jobs (and refuse to allow mayors to do theirs).
