Presumably boys also aren’t allowed to wear short skirts or tops that reveal cleavage.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

Mostly. Man, everything I’ve ever bought at Target, regardless of the supposed brand, has fallen apart in under a year. And this is after I’d become functionally homebound (that happened years ago: toddler, work-from-home, zero personal time).

Back to Carhartts for everything, I guess.

Via Eschaton:

“Since we’ve reopened, and as of this morning, there have been 59 positive COVID-19 tests confirmed among our students and staff.”

But that will not be the final tally of cases that you have caused. And this will be a new way that Reopening Fever’s toll will be normalized and minimized: papers will only count the cases of students and teachers, but not of the families of the people affected.

Given the confusing and sometimes anecdotal evidence, it can be difficult to get a decent picture of how children are affected by SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

You make decisions with the data you have, and we have had enough to data to make the right decisions, and we are not making those decisions. That new data also shows that these were the wrong decisions doesn’t exonerate anyone from making decisions that are murdering people.
