With the US dominating air travel, the rest of the world must be wondering what is wrong with us?

5. I've Only Done One Risky Activity

I still subbed several days this semester.
But, a lot of it in a school with quite small class sizes.
I consider schools essential, in this area, not every home has internet connections with the headroom for Zoom, and the kids must have a school.
I find the schools doing an excellent job of enforcing extra distancing & masks have been absolute.
Per the Illinois Department of Public Health, the schools are but a minor contributor to the huge flare up here.
I trust their analysis.
That said, I wouldn't go into a school with 3,000 students. Can't see how they'd manage the beginning & end of day.
But, no going out to eat, we don't go to bars anyway, I just scratched the stationary bike at the park district off my things to do, and I did enough flying while working. It's only slightly likely we'll ever get on a plane again, COVID or not!
And tomorrow isn't Thanksgiving. It's merely Thursday. We'll see people when it's prudent.
