My son is supposed to enter Kindergarten next year. He already has an IEP in preschool. I work full time in higher education. I can’t afford daycare or private school for him. Every time I read the news, I feel physically ill and terrified. If I could emigrate, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Any ideas on how to push through my doom induced paralysis?

It finally happened to me.
An acquaintance tried to tell me that The Democrats created COVID to remove tRump from office in 2020; now they’re apparently doing it again with bird flu. I know it’s old news, but I’ve never heard anyone who drank the MAGA kool aid that hard say it out loud to my face.
