4. This reminds me of why I do not miss being a hospital nursing supervisor

and worrying if there are is barely enough staff to cover each floor.

I hear that the ICU and CCU in our hospital had 32 COVID patients at one time...there are only 16 rooms. That means two very sick ventilator patients to each room.

I am so grateful to be retired. I am also as cautious as I can be to avoid getting sick.

7. My neighbor across the street is a nursing super.

She says work is hell on earth at the moment.

8. She has my respect and my sincere concern.

5. I am a teacher and have very little sympathy for school principals

All these plans should have been made in the summer with the superintendents, asst superintendents, asst principals, and teacher combined. Usually, no plan is made, and no "what if" plans are made.

This pandemic has shown that the top down way schools are run is antiquated and inefficient.

6. Damn, that is bleak!

How long ago was it when that missive would have seemed preposterous?

11. Has me in tears. The children of the world are so often an afterthought.

We should be doing better.

12. This has been life for the last nearly 3 years, but it's worse than it has ever been.

We had 132 sub requests that could not be filled this morning in my district. We have over 30 classrooms shuttered as well.
