Thanks for the updates, as crazy as everything is. Locally (in the suburbs of Chicago), we still have fairly high case numbers, but at least we also have lots of availability of free testing. So, no long lines to get tested, at least. Dd's high school is all remote, and it has definitely been an adjustment. Some teachers have done better than others. Her art teacher, who she's known for the last couple of years, has had the most technical difficulties, but seems to be getting the hang of it. At least in that class, they mainly check in at the beginning, work on their stuff, and he rotates talking to them individually. She also has a pretty vibrant online social life - she and her friends have various groups where they play things like Scribblio and Among Us online with group phone calls.
And ds moved to his dorm over the weekend. Two in-person classes, and two online. We shall see how that goes. They keep increasing the amount of testing availability, which is good. Back in July, they didn't even have anything set up to do testing on campus! The updates keep adding options for on-campus testing, and now they've added random testing in the most recent update we got. He does have a shared dorm room, so hopefully his roommate is also careful. At least ds is not into going to parties! He has been pretty good about wearing his masks this summer, and I think he has about a dozen washable ones. I've mainly been buying them from sewing friends, the kind made of two layers of quilter's cotton, with nose wires and elastic that goes around your head rather than ear loops. (Oh, and the college has put masks on all the campus statues, including some cute little geese!)
