Frustration is mounting as more families across the U.S. enter their second or even third week of distance learning — and some overwhelmed parents say it will be their last.

Amid the barrage of learning apps, video meet-ups and e-mailed assignments that pass as pandemic home school, some frustrated and exhausted parents are choosing to disconnect entirely for the rest of the academic year. Others are cramming all their children’s school work into the weekend or taking days off work to help their kids with a week’s worth of assignments in one day.

“We tried to make it work the first week. We put together a schedule, and what we found is that forcing a child who is that young into a fake teaching situation is really, really hard,” said Alexandra Nicholson, whose son is in kindergarten in a town outside Boston.

“I’d rather have him watch classic Godzilla movies and play in the yard and pretend to be a Jedi rather than figure out basic math.”

Just had an attempted visit from a maskless door to door CBD salesman, spinning it as a cure-all in these uncertain times. I'd say it was surreal, but it just made me feel really American.

2 French PPE distributors said they made large orders for gowns made out of fabric because they foresee a persistent undersupply issue for plastic ones.

Health professionals have been polled on this recently here and while surgical masks are more plentiful now (7% report shortages), a lot of other items are under tensions, including gowns.

Leaving microstate's aside, Sweden death per per population is now only behind the 6 hardest hit european countries. But in contrast to those countries the daily death numbers are seemingly still on the rise, while daily new infection numbers still seem to be limited by testing or are moving horizontally since three weeks. While the comparison isn't entirely fair (there are obviously regions in europe and the rest of the world that are off much worse) that's not looking good for now.


Still, we probably only can really judge the swedish approach when this whole thing is over. Compliance with strict measures seems to decrease rapidly in countries that have a lockdown in place after some time, especially as soon new infections decrease and some of the restrictions are lifted. I imagine lots of countries will get problems, maybe especially those that got lucky so far. So in the long term maybe the more self-responsible approach of sweden might still pay off.

Sweden‘s population density is also quite low, so to extrapolate their data is not really possible.

Second day without any new infection in my town.  :rejoice

My district had 8 more overall, but is still doing pretty well. Hospitals are planning to get some surgeries in that got postponed due the virus.
The extra diagnostic place they build within one school also got closed since there was no demand.

Mandatory masks from next week. Gonna be interesting sitting at the barber with a mask on  :doge

Well, this should benefit Sweden, at least in the shortrun. For now I suppose it's mainly Stockholm that is affected. 

Those country comparisons are never entirely "fair", but sweden's approach is so different that it worth a look.

Sweden, Norway, and Finland have the lowest population densities in Europe (excluding Iceland). Denmark is above average. That said, most of the populations in those countries live in urban areas, and have some of the highest rates of urbanization in Europe.

Deaths per million
Sweden: 192
Norway: 34
Finland: 27

Bonus:
Denmark: 66
Iceland: 29

Ya that's what I was getting at.  In the end, we will need stats that look at comparable urban areas to see what happen in Sweden - and most places really.

"Boy, I sure do love living in Canada which is way better than our Southern neighbor at social welfare!"



(Image removed from quote.)
"Boy, I sure do love living in Canada which is way better than our Southern neighbor at social welfare!"



(Image removed from quote.)

The difference is, I'm pretty sure the government underestimated the number of people who would not be covered by CERB, rather than willful neglect and I'd expect this to be rectified and post-dated now that it become a known issue (people were really just figuring out the details last week, and I just heard of the 1/3 not being covered about Friday).  Also, the people making up this group seem to be long-term unemployed and students.  Not saying that they are not in critical need of income but my guess is they are in less need than people who have an unexpected loss of income because of this. 

from today https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/trudeau-says-help-coming-for-students-unable-to-find-summer-jobs-1.4883310

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cerb-covid19-benefits-trudeau-1.5523052

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/pm-trudeau-updates-wage-subsidy-and-aid-for-students-will-attend-cabinet-in-person-1.4887926

Quote
The government has also announced temporary changes to the Canada Summer Jobs program. Now, employers who hire summer students can apply for a subsidy of up to 100 per cent to cover the cost, helping create up to 70,000 jobs for Canadians between the ages of 15 and 30.

The time frame for the job placements are also being extended until the winter, given some jobs will “start later than usual,” Trudeau said. The student hires can also be employed part-time, given many businesses have had to scale back their operations.


CERB (which requires zero income at the moment).

From the PMs speech today: CERB is being expanded to some lost income but not zero (people making less than 1000$ a month).  Essential workers are getting top-ups.  Also, people who run out of EI, and seasonal workers will get something.   Also something about artists, copy-right and CERB which I didn't follow.

Trudeau announces $9B in financial aid for students struggling because of pandemic

Students will be eligible for $1,250 a month from May through August. That sum can go up to $1,750 if the student is taking care of someone or has a disability.

The benefit is available also to students who have jobs but are making less than $1,000 a month.

Trudeau also said students who volunteer for the fight against COVID-19 over the summer will be paid between $1,000 and $5,000, depending on the hours they work.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-students-financial-aid-1.5540814

So a lot of the holes in CERB have been patched now.

Ya that's what I was getting at.  In the end, we will need stats that look at comparable urban areas to see what happen in Sweden - and most places really.

Well, singular superspreading events, actions of surrounding countries, general age structure, age structure of people being affected at first, health system, time of first major outbreak compared to other countries, "public behaviour", etc. all have a potentially big impact. We probably won't ever be able to perfectly separate political actions from structural factors.

I doubt that sweden suddenly ends up looking better (in the short term) if you take urbanization into account; Finland and Norway should be comparable when it comes to urbanization.

Just a little fyi for some american friends:

Norway and Sweden are prob very lucky as people went skiing in their own country in feb/march and not in Italy and Austria like Danes and Dutchies did. Thus low initial numbers.

Denmark did a good job containment. Holland is doing ok for how densly populated it is.

Sweden was lucky to start off with but their shit response has mafe them a laughing stock imho.

All that socialism in Sweden has been exposed as fair weather lip service. When it came down to the nitty gritty they chose money and personal freedom over collective health and people's lifes.

Northern frauds imho.
