The HOA makes these decisions, not me. Last year, they put on a new roof but I was able to leave. I’m trapped and they’re pounding away for eight hours a day. At least, they took lunch. 😳 It's like being on the bus with the battery isn't it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of the this dumb intro video they made for us for day 1 of new hire classes. It has disco laser lights and starts out literally saying (in a gravely, overmiced tone) "The beat drops in 5...4...3...2...1." Literally the worst thing I've ever heard. It offends all 5 of my senses. But then we get to drink champagne at work and I feel better. Edited April 1, 2020 by Weaklefthand4ever 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keystone3ply Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The state has officially closed all of our schools as well as our surrounding states for the rest of the year. Seniors may have their commencement in the late summer if this thing dies down. Our faculty meeting via Zoom was sad. We're setting up online learning for the rest of the year. 😷 An 87 year old gentlemen with several health conditions one street over passed away after contracting the virus. Getting to close to home now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One bite at a time. thought of you the other day, I saw a news article about dentists in PA having to shut down because new COVID19 regulations there require negative pressure treatment rooms. LOL, yeah, my wife said one crisis at a time :) I read some comments from some PA docs recently about that. It pretty much shut out most from practicing.

Saying that, not sure whether we're still going to graduate on time anymore, rumor is that our state could implement a "no more non-essential medical treatment until September" guideline just like Oregon did in order to keep PPE for the essential task of caring for COVID-19 patients. Hope everything works out for you, stay away from the cavitron! I’ve been wondering about how the dental schools here have been handling it, especially with WREB coming up. The Governor put out a mandate, which was recently extended, that only medical procedures to avoid immediate severe consequences or preserve the patient’s life could be done. Violation could result n fines or even jail. (The state board even has a link to report people suspected of violating the order.) So, pretty much just endo or extractions. Good luck and stay safe!

Not a lot of detail which has been the big shortcoming in the commonwealths response but they trying to keep up. All I really caught was if you your mouth is bleeding you can call your dentist Here it’s limited to procedures to avoid serious, immediate consequences or preserve the patient’s life. So pain, trauma, infection. Not much else. (Definitely no cleanings or routine fillings.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
