I still remember when that fuck gave the all-clear to re-open everything and ban masks but if you wanted to interview him you needed to test negative three days in a row and wear an N95 outdoors.
Can we talk about just how expensive lice are? A bottle of lice shampoo will easily set you back USD 40 and that is gone quickly if a kid catches lice and the entire family needs to be deloused.
That is a lot of money for a lot of families. And if just one kid doesn't get their lice treated it will keep reappearing again and again, causing discomfort, inconvenience and expenses for everyone.
I clicked through thinking your version of the headline was metaphorical. Nope.
• The burden of missing school days due to nits far outweighs the minimal risk of transmission, especially when the lice have been treated.
When I was in high school my grades were generally fine but I missed a lot of days due to chronic migraines. Near the end of one fall semester, two of my teachers who were real sticklers for Written Rules informed my parents that if I ended up with more than 15 days of absences, they would be obliged to fail me, even if my grade was an A or a B.
With only one absence to spare, I caught the flu from a relative who'd been traveling. Since this flu didn't really compare to my migraines I had to go to school with it. It spread. My friends called it "Wertheimer's Death Flu." I caused more than fifteen absences.
Only reason I finished highschool is one teacher spoke to all my others because he knew I was falling asleep in class or just not showing up because I was working full time and doing community service to stay out of jail. In a just society children don't work to put food on the table, they may or may not get community service as a reform attempt, but not while working and being in school, during the summer holiday or something for heaven's sake. He was so proud when I showed him my SAT/ACT results. Glad he never found out I got kicked out of my first college for being an insurance risk and never did anything with the second go around. Don't major in English or History folks.
Anyway, we do not live in a just society, so thank fuck for people who chose to simply ignore the rules.
schools are daycares. parents with sick kids call off of work or otherwise stay home to take care of their children instead of going out/consuming/producing. this is unacceptable. therefore, the kids have to be in school, healthy or not.
honestly if Nurgle were real i'd give Nurgleism a serious consideration. Yeah you're eaten to death by millions of the most pestilent plagues imaginable, literally rotten in every aspect of body and being, BUT
It doesn't kill you and it doesn't hurt and Nurgle seems like a p. good guy when you don't factor in the ever spreading hellplague
Like Grandfather Nurgle seems like a kinder god than the Abrahamic one, imo
(P.s. I really like characters like Nurgle, like he's evil but he's not at the same time, idk, it's a bit more complex than if he just wanted to kill everyone with disease and that makes it interesting.
Same reason I like Stagnate, the God of Undeath in the anime The Faraway Paladin, like, she's "evil" because everything she does perverts the very fabric of reality by upending the natural cycle of life and death, but she's doing what she does because she genuinely cares for people, especially heroes, and wants to both give the opportunity to defy an unjust death as well as preserve the thing she finds most beautiful- a truly heroic soul. LOVE IT.)
Not sure what the problem is? It's never been policy in the UK to keep kids home from school over head lice, the shits are impossible to stop with the way kids are so it's simpler to just treat repeatedly and not disrupt? Are there any particular long term health risks?
