[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you consider that obesity, asthma, diabetes, heart disease etc. are pre-existing conditions, you are talking about a MAJORITY of adults. So it's not really useful to point them out as a reason why in person teaching is a good idea. [/quote] A majority of adults OVER A CERTAIN AGE.[/quote] In 2017–2018, the age-adjusted prevalence of obesity in adults was 42.4%, and there were no significant differences between men and women among all adults or by age group. 42% of adults are obese. That's just one of the preexisting conditions. [/quote] Many DCPS teachers are AA, and AAs have been especially impacted by the pandemic due to the effects of institutional racism, which have led to increased comorbid conditions. Given this, I'd imagine there are a high proportion of teachers that fall into at-risk categories, unfortunately.[/quote]
