Read The Truth Behind A Viral Picture Of A Reopening School Is Worse Than It Looked (BuzzFeed News)
An alarming photo of a hallway crowded by mostly maskless students in a Georgia high school raises issues with reopening schools all around the country.
This depresses me to read. It’s even worse when I think that this high school is just 36 miles South of the high school I attended. The local schools’ and government’s lack of care for the students under their supervision is appalling. It’s even worse when I think of the people who were sent home or punished for what I would consider minor dress code “violations” when I attended and yet now they’re saying they can’t manage to make mask wearing mandatory.

Checked into Huntington Beach Lifeguard Station 17
A major getting away from the house for the first time in a long time. We’d wanted to do Gerrish for the summer and it was supposed to open on July 7th, but we opted against it. This is a small consolation.

Fortunately seems pretty quiet early in the morning, so physical distancing isn’t difficult and there’s lots of fresh air.
