"Who will get the vaccine first" is already being discussed.
NY sheriff won't enforce Cuomo's Turkey Day restrictions of 10 people.
MI has the same restrictions, and I find it very hard to believe most cops would be willing to enforce them.
"Hey, your neighbor called to report seeing 11 people at your house. Tell your grandma she has to go back to the retirement home!"

I feel like it should already have been decided by now, we've known this is coming for 8 months.
A friend of my wife's posted on FB that "VACCINES ARE MEDICAL CANIBALISM"
So... yeah.

I will NOT be getting the vaccine first. I could conceivably see me never getting it. I'm gonna let you thalidomide babies try it first.

Our friend group has slowly come to the realization that our yearly San Francisco Thanksgiving-athon isn't happening.
We have friends in the service industry who are constantly getting exposed to COVID cases and then having to get tested. We have friends with babies now too. Not to mention people wanting to add randoms to the guest list.
Just wouldn't make sense to risk it exposing the group with a vaccine 6 months out.

Yeah, family gatherings cancelled with my clan as well.

In a bit of good timing, both my brother-in-law and sister-in-law were taking their families out of town for Thanksgiving trips. We're still doing a meal with my in laws, but it'll just be them and my family. We'll also be doing a meal with my folks, but just them. And we've been quarantining with all of them anyway. No extended families this year.
Worst of all, no OSU-TTUN game party on Saturday.

We're going to see my parents. Dad turning 80, and with mom's diagnosis want to see them. We're self-isolating for 10 days prior. My brother + his wife also self isolating and come up the next day to celebrate his 50th. So we'll only be at 8.

High school schedules are retarded where we live. Kids in school by 7:25pm? Get up at what the fuck time to get the 630 bus? Fuck that shit.Here’s a silver lining in the Covid-19 pandemic: Teens are talking more with their parents and showing signs of improved mental health, according to a survey from the Institute for Family Studies (where I am a contributing editor).
The study, released in October, found that 56% of 1,523 U.S. high school students surveyed between May and July reported talking to their parents more during quarantine than before. Fifty-four percent said their families have dinner together more often, 46% reported spending more time with siblings, and 68% said their families had become closer during the pandemic.
More surprisingly, the share of teens reporting depression dropped from 27% in 2018 to 17% in the spring of 2020, when remote school was in session, though it edged up to 20% over the summer. What accounts for this counterintuitive result? The IFS study cites two reasons: increased time with family and more sleep.
Time with families buffers kids from depression. They may be sad or in distress, but parents are there to comfort them and help them regulate their emotions and handle conflict. This doesn’t mean coddling, but helping them learn to cope with intense feelings. Parents’ physical and emotional presence promotes emotional security, the foundation of resilience.
More sleep is equally important. During puberty, a natural change in circadian rhythms called “sleep phase delay” makes teens feel tired later at night than they are used to. That often means a later bedtime without a shift in early-morning school routines, which can result in sleep deprivation. School start times have moved earlier over the years to accommodate working parents at the expense of critical sleep for adolescents. But during the pandemic, without a commute, many teens are finding that they are able to follow their natural sleeping patterns. Poor sleep has been significantly linked to teen depression in previous research.

Yeah, def not best for teenage circadian rhythmz.

Toledo's county is locking stuff down as of tomorrow, so I ran out as soon as the announcement was made this morning and did the grocery shopping. It was due and we needed food.
The fact that I had the slowest checkout person in my life is not the point of this. And I'm not exaggerating.... this woman took 40 minutes to check out the 5 people in line before me. One cart each. Nothing outrageous. 40 minutes. So literally.... the slowest checkout person in my 50 years of life. Happened today.
No, my irritation was the person in line behind me. Everyone else stands behind their cart, so it's easy to maintain 6 feet. This guy stood in front of his cart, directly behind me. I noticed he was there when I smelled his breath through his mask (under his nose). He was 18 inches away. I asked him to step back, his eyes kind of rolled and he did that indecipherable, old-man mumble. He was saying something to me, but who knows what. He stepped a few feet away and read the tabloids on the rack, mumbling the entire time. The line moved a little bit, and he returned to the front of his cart, directly off my shoulder.
I had to step away and just move back to move my cart forward, when appropriate.
We really need to start committing these people involuntarily when they can't live within the very simple rules of being in public.
