There is a tea called throat relief. Look for a tea with licorice root, marshmallow root. That’s what helps the throat. I sing in a choir, we use this tea for voice strain!

use non verbals...hand signals, sign language, attention getters. have the students develop cognitive skills and make them think as opposed to you telling them. use technology and type it in a PowerPoint. let them read it. I know we are just used to talking but it's a lifestyle change and it will benefit you in the long run.

Dr. Gould's gargle recipe: 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp clear karo syrup, and 6 oz of warm water.

Inhale steam 2-3 minutes prior to gargle. Take a swig and hold it in your mouth until it matches the temp inside your mouth, then gargle as long as you can stand it. don't eat or drink anything for 15-30 minutes ish.

This works wonders for me! I make a cup and keep it in the microwave. Nuke it every time I want to gargle.

Me! And so it begins (stressful situations +poorly behaved students+ingrained low performance+staffing issues+demands from Network leaders who don’t care about SEL but just testing performance= sickness susceptibility. I’m over it all already. There’s has to be a better way.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
