Like his policies or not, but Pence is a natural at this.

They send her back to re-take kindergarten and I'll yank her out and pay for private school. No, she will NOT be re-learning how to use scissors when I'm fairly confident I could drop her in second grade and she'd probably have her feet under her within a month. We're not the psychotic "TEST HER OUT" family or anything. Part of growing up is being a kid and going to school and matriculating your way through varied social experiences. A 5/6 yr old may be able to read with 7/8 yr olds but she still needs to understand how to interact with her immediate peer groups. I see little utility in skipping grades - they miss out on more than they gain. But if schools try to repeat things, the behavioral issues they'll face from bored stiff pupils will be immense. |

I was social distancing since Thursday. Seems like a longer time that's for sure. I went out this am to deliver some hand sanitizer. Don't have the cabin fever as much now. |

I posted earlier that my family went through a bout of a mystery illness a few weeks ago. I just found out that someone that lives nearby tested positive for COVID-19, from an illness that started in her household about a week before my family got sick.

I believe so:
Global Health Advisory March 15, 2020 Level 3: Reconsider Travel The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to reconsider travel abroad due to the global impact of COVID-19. Many areas throughout the world are now experiencing COVID-19 outbreaks and taking action that may limit traveler mobility, including quarantines and border restrictions. Even countries, jurisdictions, or areas where cases have not been reported may restrict travel without notice. |

Putting aside what he's actually saying.....
At times like these we expect our leadership to be "presidential". Talk "presidential". Empathy. Here's what we are doing, This is the plan. Anything that's not that, freaks people out more. Doesnt really matter which political team your on I hate Rick Scott so much ever since his company stole $1.2 Billion from medicare in Missouri. Moved to Florida and found out he was governor. We had two hurricanes under him. He did a helluva job. In hurricanes getting gas for cars and generators in the aftermath is key. He got the police to escort gasoline tankers to stations from the docks. Gave the stations exceptions to make it more readily available. Brought in electrical trucks from all over the USA. Paused a lot of collections. etc. Got him a senate seat for it. He earned it during those hurricanes. |
