    Wife and I are both symptom free. She is actually feeling better than she did earlier in the week, did not have the classic symptoms. We will know on thanksgiving that we are a covid free home.

    My wife is the business office manager/everything at an assisted living facility. They made it through the first round of covid with zero cases. As of today, they are at 3 cases, full symptoms. I'm in quarantine, she is staying at work for the time being in one of the empty rooms.

    So you’re in charge of your state how do you handle covid?

    Issues faced are:
    Hospital capacity
    Economy
    Lives
    Education
    Mitigation
    Unemployment
    Mental health

    How easy was it for you to set up a test?

    Walgreens has no available openings for the next 3 days, can't go beyond that. Sat on hold with Memorial for a half hour before hanging up, now trying to go through my Dr. but have to use telenurse as his office is closed on Saturday's.

    Let her rip.

    • I would suspend the collection of state income tax
    • Encourage state legislature to pass increase on internet sales tax
    • Issue ExO that all schools must allow at least 50% in-person learning or no property tax income revenue will be allocated
    • Initiate program where TAs/teaching students/vetted parents could be voluntary (paid or for college credit) in-person proctors while opt-out teachers teach via VTC
    • No state-ordered mask mandates anywhere. Private entities can do what they want
    • No Covid-related mandates on food/beverage vendor capacity caps
    • Issue ExO giving indemnifying immunity on civil liabilities (i.e. a business can't be sued for a clients -or- employee's exposure to C-19)

    Hospital capacity issues are what they are. That's where Fed Government can, will, and has stepped in.

    Yeah, wasn't as bad as anticipated. Worst part was they had to leave the swab in for 8 seconds.
