Ever since we had the incident about the car and staying out late the teen has been super courteous. She just came to ask if she might borrow the car to go to CVS to pick up some candy. And yes, she may. The rules laid out seem to work. There is a noticeable change in attitude, which as my objective.
Other than that today is a bit of a sad day as Jennifer has left our household. She is set to go home and be with her family in the Philippines. Under normal circumstances this would not be a big deal. However, given State does not currently process any G5 visas now it is. We have no idea when she will be able to return. We all cried as she got ready to go. Ten years together is a long time and Jennifer has been a second mum to EM whenever I travelled for work.
It is so strange to have the basement empty. At the same time, we have repossessed our house. Looking into spaces we have ignored for years. While I scramble to find someone to help with laundry and cleaning, I wish we had some certainty about Jennifer's return. Her new family needs her and we have had the best of all worlds. Keeping my fingers crossed that she can come back before Christmas.
Beyond that it was another “normal “day in the age of Corona. I had my girlfriends over for a socially distanced drink. We tested the new outdoor entertainment are and it passed with flying colors.
Across nine States of the United States of America the virus is spreading rapidly new infections yesterday stood at 49k, mainly reported in these nine States. The USA today reports 7.6 million infected of the global total of 34.7 million. The most prominent case of course is the orange Cheeto who mocked Vice President Joe Biden for wearing a mask and socially distancing.
Over the past twenty our so hours all sorts of abhorrent behavior is coming to light. Firstly, the event held at the rose garden to officially announce the nominee for the Supreme Court appears to have been a super spreader event. As evidence by TV video footage almost no one attending the event wore masks. People were definitely not socially distancing and even hugging. So far nine people who attended the event have reported positive test results.
But it gets better the entire Trump delegation arrived late for the presidential debate and could not be tested beforehand! Staffers and the Moron’s guests, including his stupid family refused to wear masks and this included Hope Hicks who the following day tested positive for COVID-19. The selfishness does however not end there, the administration did not notify any of the debate participants (staff, guests, the Biden campaign) of the positive test results. Instead the Covidiot in chief set of for a rally on Wednesday and a fundraiser on Thursday meeting with a select group of people in close quarters at his golf club many in one on one conversations all of which were of course held without a mask! His supports paid $250,000 a pop for the privilege to be exposed. People are up in arms about the secrecy and the risk the Covidiot has exposed people to. I for one have no sympathy for any of the Senators, sponsors or staffers coming back with positive tests. May the course of their cases be prolonged and severe, four to five weeks seems an entirely appropriate timeline. Maybe the Virus will prevent the Supreme Court nominee confirmation as at least two of the Republican Senators on the judicial committee have also tested positive.
And maybe the fact that none of the cronies dies can be put down to whatever drug cocktail they are being given. The only people I feel for are the secret service staff who have no choice.
The Covidiot has been surrounding himself with clearly unqualified doctors who are now furious that he is being treated with experimental drugs. They suggest he should have continued to take Hydroxinchlorquine and it would never have happened. Pity that he is not following their advice, but is instead being given Remesdivir by real scientists. After news last night of the Covidiot in chief being hospitalized Twitter was on fire with speculations of whether or not he really was infected. Thousands of people suggested he only made it up to get out of upcoming debates.
That is how much the nation trusts it’s supposed leader!
