Sensible. You donât want probably infectious people making a beeline to doctorsâ offices just to get a note.

Who the heck asks for doctors notes for class absences at the university level? I only require documentation for absences for exams.
Today was the first day of U of Osloâs move to all-digital classes. Things like research seminars were supposed to be canceled, but my group met anyway because weâre all idiots so dedicated.

So now this is a thing.
Facebook posts claiming bovine coronavirus vaccine âprovesâ that there is a vaccine and we are just letting people die. I feel like I am trying to put out Australian brushfires by peeing on them. And its still way early.

Well, cuz Trump is a self-serving racist, of course. But officially, itâs bc the UK isnât in the Schengen Area. Other European countries like Ireland* and Croatia are exempt too, because they arenât part of the Area. Flying out of Moscow? Come on over!

My university did. It was up to the individual teachers what their absentee policy was, of course, but they were free to penalize you for missing standard non-exam classes.
Had to show one professor a medical report. I regretted that I hadnât missed class due to hemorrhoids.

Ooops, thought we were all sheeple [for believing The Deep State]. Now cattle are somehow involved. So confusing! Hey conspiracy nutjobs, make up yer minds already!
Perhaps we have ourselves to blame because of previous publicity re zoonotic diseases like âswine fluâ and âavian fluâ etc. I can totally see the pretzel logic.
We are witnessing in real time the cumulative effects of decades-long gutted U.S. public school education âsystemâ âcurriculum,â including but not limited elimination of critical thinking pedagogy (lookinâ at you, Austin ISD) and the seductive outsourcing of any other âthinkingâ to all them shouty expert people on the tv, the Fb, etc.
May the gods and goddesses have mercy on us all.

Yup. Iâve already been considering what I could hack together to make an oxygen generator in an emergency, in case a family member needed it while the medical system was overloaded. Generating oxygen isnât that hard using electrolysis; separating out the hydrogen safely is much harder, since most things that react with the hydrogen will also react with the oxygen, and then youâre back at the beginning.
