Surprise lack of precautions

[mtbc]

I was surprised enough when I read my workplace's back-to-campus policy to learn that I am to remove my face covering on entering a shared office. Fortunately we are able to work from home so, when I do go in, I am not actually sharing, at least so far.

I had been wondering what the approach would be for my youngest's return to high school. The transportation there sounds the most alarming so far: there is no distancing on the school bus, they were the only one masked (here's hoping they're a trendsetter!), the windows aren't even open. Given the duration of the journey it seems an environment calculated to effect airborne transmission. Against the caution by which we have lived in recent months, this feels so strange and wrong; I do not know what to make of it. Perhaps we are a more unusual family than I had guessed. I wish that I felt as if saying something would have any useful effect.

Remove a face covering when entering a shared office space?!!!!! That's nuts! DAMN. I wear a mask all day at work (well, except when I eat lunch, which I do alone), and many others do, too.

I'm glad your children are wearing their masks. It just sounds like the UK has its shit together about as well as the USA does. (sigh)
