@bluebelle Hall of Fame for the above post. Thank you for saying what needed to be said. So cathartic for us all to read your post, and interesting that it came from one of the gentlest in our community.  Gentle and strong.

My son's high school went back to school last Wednesday.  They have their first confirmed case of COVID today.   They have not told us if the individual is vaccinated or if it is a breakthrough case.  I feel we have the right to know.   I sent an email.  I may just call the principal.

@kksali Ugh. I am sorry to hear that. Yes, it would certainly be helpful to know if the person was vaccinated or not. I hope you are able to find out and that no one else gets sick.

@cc21 Thank you. Well I just spoke with another parent who confirmed it is a breakthrough case.  The nurse isn't allowed to say - but sometimes the Mama network pulls through....

@kksali Those momma networks are golden.

May your son stay safe. Are masks mandated in his school?

I know it is a very concerning time for all parents with children in school right now.

Sending lots of light your way. Lots of light to surround your son.  It looks like long rays of light, almost in crystal form are around him.

@lovendures 

This just makes me really crave chocolate

Almost done my self isolating. Have been in a few stores double masked to get things ready for this weekend's craft fair. Nervous though to be around so many people. No matter how hot it gets I'm wearing my masks...

Have any of you been to the post office lately?  I live in an area that's quite blue, so fortunately I don't encounter a lot of mask-less people in indoor establishments when I'm out and about.   

I went to the post office yesterday and the clerk was not wearing a mask. When I researched the USPS' current policies, I found that masks are no longer mandated if the employees are fully vaccinated.  Here is the link:

I am confused and troubled by this, especially since the postal clerks are working with the general public.

@deetoo Well DeJoy is still in charge, so I'm not surprised. (I assume he is ultimately the decision-maker here.) Yet another agent of chaos continuing to undermine our institutions.
