Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

My cousin was a teacher during COVID, working in rural Australia.

There wasn't enough internet there for video, there was barely enough for email. So he was driving to a different student's house each day and teaching one kid at a time

I think he was only responsible for a handful of kids

That was the busiest time at work for me, I work in government information technology and my team was delivering a system to help businesses keep paying their locked down at home staff. We had to work in the office, in a place designed to hold a thousand people, but only twenty of us were there, until we were enabled to work from home

COVID was worse than any fiction I ever read. So many people died. So many people live-blogged their own deaths

wow that's a lot worse than my story of a stupid boat, crazy that there are still people that don't have stable Internet.
