I'm 18 and am working two jobs this summer, though I have had one for over a year. While I'm in development, I've got several friends who are working as lifeguards at a pool. It stinks that your son can't find one, but there are jobs.
- irrational 6y agoAre your pools still open? All of ours closed down at the beginning of quarantine and they have already announced that none of the pools or rec centers will open this summer ( and possibly this year).
- collegeburner 6y agoOpen-ish. They've got physical distancing enforced, and some have limited hours, but yes. Water isn't known to transmit the wuhan coronavirus (and these pools are chlorinated), so I figure it's decently safe as long as people aren't dumb when out of the water. No lounging around on pool chairs, though.
- collegeburner 6y agoFollow-up: why the down-votes in response? I'm very confused given that my prior comment wasn't.
- Doxin 6y agoI imagine it's due to calling it "wuhan coronavirus" instead of simply "coronavirus" or "covid-19".
- collegeburner 6y agoCoronavirus isn't descriptive. SARS-CoV-2 is unbearably clunky. Covid refers to the disease caused by the virus (it's short for "coronavirus disease"); people don't communicate a disease, they communicate a virus. This is like the HIV/AIDS distinction: you can't "catch AIDS". Hence my terminology. Talk about petty, though. It's from wuhan, so calling it "wuhan coronavirus" or "chinese coronavirus" strikes me as more than reasonable.
