@CharlieHorseToy First day of prep, school had morning tea for parents (which was sweet), except it's crammed in tiny staff room.I went in, switched on air purifier on high and went out and chatted with the only other mum outside (she was out cos her younger kid has a chronic lung condition)

Three days back at school and 10 yr old is unwell.
Fuck I hate this.
Negative so far, but isolating her, windows open, air purifiers on high, evap fan running.
I emailed her principal. His reply, “he would remind staff, the office purifiers are always turned on.” Fuck him🤬

I took my kids (4 and 6) for a musical yesterday, masked. As we squeezed past to our seats, I heard some ladies (oldish, 60s? Unmasked) and commenting "oh such poor things. So young and made to mask" 😡😡😣😣
