No but someone should have protected the kid. My oldest has done it a couple of times. Once because he was one of biggest kids in his class in elementary school older boys were picking on his small friend clocked a kid two years older and recently now that he is huge he had a stern convo with kids bullying a developmentally disabled kid. We talked about how to handle those kids and told him not to pick a fight but make sure they knew their actions would not be tolerated. I am truly proud of him.
Bullying happens and kids test their limits but its up to parents to put cabash on it quickly. The relentlessness of what this kid did shows me his parents didnt do squat and kid didnt learn the lesson.
I voted yesterday, took me an hour and a half. Poll machine I put my ballot in read 1677. Polls open on Tuesday at noon. There were 6 poll machines so by extrapolation approximately 10,000 in 4 hours. Polls have been open since Saturday.

PS just heard-that we have 8 cases 3-4 of which are longterm positive including 1 positive 45 days... weird but apparently not unheard of and supposedly not contagious.?
IMO full lockdowns become less important for all the reasons Wyld mentions... but isolated localized short term lock downs sure because of the difficulty in contact tracing and folks not following protocols. If there had been the leadership that NY implemented from the get go at its height the severity of this second/wave in other areas of the country would be a lot less imo. While we are seeing a slight uptick nowhere near what we saw last April near NYC. School are jumping on isolating any positive cases.
We can get into motivations and political bias minimalization v hysteria... but it befuddles me why mask wearing social distancing and washing hands became wrapped up in this controversy. Definitions of social distancing maybe I can see a bit and no shutting down makes no sense to me.
