I don't want to sound like one of *those* parents, but both my kids could easily pass GED right now and get into a community college with remote study for a year or two and then transition to full university later. My senior already took the ACT and got a 32. My freshman could easily jump several grades without missing a beat. Honestly, high school is busy work for them for the most part (and socializing for my freshman daughter).
All that to say, we have options. I'm not going to risk their health over this.

Must be a reclassification again today. New York is showing over 600 deaths yesterday, making the day total over 900 for the first time in a long time. Well, except for the day that New Jersey reclassified.

Vanilla Ice is doing a show playing “all his hits” just outside of Austin tomorrow night. Austin, which is in panic mode with 500-600 new cases per day and hospitalizations quadrupling in June.

Re: Coronavirus
I just got a call from the GF about half an hour ago and found out she tested positive for the virus so now I'm in line to get tested. Thankfully she is not showing any symptoms and she was tested a week ago. I can't decide if I want to have it and be the same or not have it at all. I've been around her all the time the past few weeks so I figure I probably have it too.

No offense thrill, but I'm beginning to question the 'common sense' level of the average Floridian.

Re: Coronavirus
I'm right there with you. It's not even just average folks either. There are actual government entities actively flouting CDC guidelines regarding masks and social distancing.
