oh jiminy crickets
My niece has tested positive for Covid. She's vaxxed and boosted, but she has a heart condition, so everybody's moderately freaked. Her mother, my looney sister (there's one in every family), is not vaxxed. She's not an anti-vaxxer or Tr*mpist; no, this is her own peculiar life-long looniness, in which she imagines herself to be a frail flower suffering from every health condition imaginable, which no doctor can ever find. She could not *possibly* risk such a dangerous procedure as getting a vaccination to protect her from a deadly disease.
If I sound angry, that's because I am. The family has been trying to persuade her to get vaxxed for two years to no effect. I can't even. I don't know, at this point, whether my niece caught Covid from her mother or from someone at work (she works in a supermarket, God bless her). But either way, my looney sister's irresponsibility just sends me right around the bend.
In other news, one of our fourth-graders has tested positive and the entire fourth grade is now in quarantine. I can't even with that either. The lack of common sense I see everywhere makes me want to hit the nearest available bottle.
I'm working from home for the rest of the week, not because of the plague, but because the heat went out in our building. Personally, I'm grateful for our ageing HVAC.
