EBR COA closing down for holidays because of Rona - Tasha finna eat

The OT’s favorite Council on Aging has conveniently decided to close because of Rona. Just in time for the Holidays. But they refuse to reveal how many people are sick or why they are closing. THIS IS WHY YOU DONT GIVE MILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS TO A PRIVATE ORGANIZATION. They don’t answer to anyone. I wonder if they will give any tax dollars back as they cancel one of their most expensive weeks of the year?

The East Baton Rouge Parish Council on Aging is shutting down its administrative offices and associated facilities for 12 days due to an increase of confirmed coronavirus among the agency's employees. The temporary shutdown will begin at the close of business Tuesday and last until Nov. 30, when offices will reopen, officials said in a news release.

Officials didn't give any further details regarding when and how many employees had recently tested posted for the coronavirus. The shutdown is their effort to reduce the risk of transmission to the agency's clients and other staff, the news release states.

“We are not just employees — we are the living example to our parish as we serve our seniors," (WTF does that even mean?)the agency's CEO Tasha Clark Amar said in a prepared statement. "We will complete delivering meals to our homebound seniors to accommodate them for the duration of our closure."

[On Tuesday the agency also announced it's cancelling both its Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway scheduled for Nov. 19 and that it won't be delivering hot Thanksgiving dinner to its Meals on Wheels clients early next week.

They say they will continue to deliver meals and then in the next sentence say they won’t be delivering hot Thanksgiving meals. Sounds to me like they just want to deliver the cheap regular meals and avoid the cost of a fancy dinner.
