[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, the only issues going on here are that: (i) there are teachers (not all, for sure, but a sizeable group) who don’t want to take any risk despite it being part of their job, the risk being super small, and the cost-benefit highly weighing in favor of going back and (ii) there are parents bitter that their kid didn’t get an inperson spot. As a result, both groups are taking active measures to sabotage any opening for the child who absolutely need it the most, thereby continuing the increasing exponential risk that these kids are in. In short, selfish people are screwing over disadvantaged children, yet again. [/quote]

The risk is going up every day due to the resurgence of the virus across the US. As a nation we should pay teachers more as we expect them to deal with all this crap. Turns out that teachers are not easy to replace very easily since there is a national teacher shortage. That is the reality we live in[/quote]

The risk of exposure is going up but the risk of consequences from contracting it is stable for people not in high risk groups and lower for high risk groups. Teachers who don’t have health issues or live with people with health issues and are under let’s just say 50 or so, are at a lower risk of any issues from getting Covid than they are of getting the flu (no, i don’t think this is the same or better than the flu— it’s far worse for at risk people). They shouldn’t be able to stay home. They should have to go in to work, the same way that they do during flu season. Older teachers, those with health vulnerabilities and those who live with either should be able to stay home doing virtual. It’s actually quite simple[/quote]

Since you’re an expert on COVID can you tell me the long term effects the virus can have on the body? I’ve heard damaged lungs, brain fog, permanent loss of taste and smell, chronic fatigue...all mentioned by legitimate news sources like CNN and WaPo.

And don’t ask for peer reviewed evidence because we don’t have any, this is a NEW virus. 
Just because someone recovers doesn’t mean there aren’t long term issues.[/quote]
