Good luck with the new class! I hope it is rewarding for you as much as it will be for your students.

My son lives at Chapel Hill. He tells me that your area, in general, is strict about masks. I'm so glad. Minnesota went from compliant to "whatever" after the early rules. I hear some of the cities are getting strict again. Not where I live. Son worries about his wife who has a congenital condition that could mean that if she were bed bound for a period of time, she may never walk again. One more reason for thinking beyond our noses when it comes to masks and the vaccines. Keep up the good work.

So glad you are taking care of yourself and making space for the transition. I'm so grateful for all that I've gained from reading your posts; your students are so fortunate to be learning from you! As the gals from Pantsuit Politics say, have the best semester available to you, and be well!

This is my first comment on your blog. I just want to say "you go girl!" I appreciate all your hard work and I am sure your new students will too.

Dr. Emily, I know you are busy with your new ventures, but SOS.

Mom of a high risk child here. I live in CA and have had the luxury of mask mandates in schools. Next week those go away. Please advise on how best to protect a vulnerable 3 year old from Covid.

What are reasonable precautions for us to take?

My daughter has chronic lung disease, laryngomalacia, obstructive sleep apnea, and a gaggle of other issues.

She got a runny nose last month and I am still trying to wean her off bipap and oxygen.

Again, we feel totally lost and left behind in this pandemic.

Thanks,

Amanda
