I tried to post about this over a month ago but, the NPR story I referenced had too much politics in the back story & was deleted. Thanks for finding this version of it.
So, I felt a pang of sadness as I've an observation / question for y'all:
This pandemic has really put a stop to almost all compassionate neighborly behavior I was raised with and taught to share. How do you feel about this self observation?
(I'm asking around different circles in BYC to see all the different thoughts.)
Yeah. I think I first heard this on NPR myself. But I thought hearing it from the Kansas City Star and the Kansas Dept of Health would be useful.
It's sad that they're so aggressive here at deleting anything with any whiff of an actual point of view.
Sad, but necessary as many (even me) overreact upon occasion.
Along the same lines, I felt the same lack in my latest classroom. We have spent years teaching our children to share and be kind. I had a kindergarten class where I had to tell the children NOT to share the ball to play catch. A child fell on the asphalt, scraping his knee, and another asked if she could hug him because he was sad. Then there was the excited six-year-old who came racing up to me with a wide grin of recognition, only to stop and melt about three feet in front of me. I asked him what was wrong and he almost cried. "I want to hug you, but I can't. We managed some semblance of a hug (shoulder rub and a "lean," and he was happy, but I fought tears for days over it. I can't help but worry about what this is doing to our children ... and our futures.So, I felt a pang of sadness as I've an observation / question for y'all:

It’s estimated that in 1830, the humpback population was 27,000. By 1950, there were only 450 of them left. Now, according to a new study published by the Royal Society, decades of protection has boosted the population to about 93% of its pre-exploitation size. Here, Daily Kos staffer David Neiwert plugs us into a humpback symphony.
I can see the logic behind it, but would be more cautious, my own self. Considering that a household is sharing the same air, if one were infected, the rest would most likely be, as well.I was just told, “the nurse said only one person needs tested per household to exit quarantine.” Is that really a thing? I find it very difficult to believe.
