[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s February. People are sick. It’s super common for this time of year, we are all inside a lot and some viruses spread more in winter than summer. Before Covid we didn’t know the number and that was ok. The knowing doesn’t help, does it? Just do your best to hydrate, eat well, sleep well, and hope if your family gets hit that it goes away fast

We Did know before covid. This is way worse. [/quote]

Are you saying that before 2020 you sought out hard data outlining the prevalence of multiple illnesses spreading in the public schools?

I have my doubts, but kudos for your diligence if that’s the case.

But in reality, what would you do differently? I teach in an elementary school and am exposed constantly. I obviously don’t want to get sick, but I know it’s inevitable. I do my best to keep it away (eat healthy, wash my hands, all the things), but I don’t think that tracking the numbers will do that much t protect me or anyone. If I am sick but still have to come to work, I will wear a mask to protect the kids I work with….teachers often do this at our school, even our principal, and it’s not considered crazy. I guess I could wear a mask proactively, but I haven’t seen that it’s gotten too bad in our school to warrant that.
