[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a teacher but having teachers in the building without students is dumb as F.

It increases their risk of exposure from other teachers (shared bathrooms, who knows how HVAC works, etc). For freaking theater.

WTF muscle memory? When they can go back safely and teach to students in person, they won’t forget how to stand in front of a whiteboard [/quote]

Unless they haven't left their house since the pandemic began, this is no more risky than their every day activities.[/quote]

BS. Shared bathrooms alone make it way way higher. Have you ever used a school bathroom?[/quote]

DP. I use the school bathroom virtually every time I’m at the school. School bathrooms are about the same as other public bathrooms. Have you not used a public bathroom since March?[/quote]

I've only used a public bathroom twice since March. Is that weird? I thought most people were avoiding public bathrooms.  :?: [/quote]

Its really not that risky.  Its a potential, albeit unlikely path.  There are no known cases of toilet plume transmission- but it has been theoretically studied.   I think focusing on the bathroom is kind of like washing your groceries- yes there is a theoretical possibility of covid transmission in all the right circumstances- but it extremely unlikely.

It’s not about the toilet plume. It’s about the airborne exhalation lingering on a poorly vented space.

As t least teachers have their own bathrooms b/c I would not want to use a student bathroom, i guarantee kids will be taking off their masks in there. [/quote]

I understand that.  I’m also a teacher.  I’ll be wearing my mask the whole time!  [/quote]

Oh that’s good you have N95 them. Most masks protect others not you hence my concern. [/quote]
