[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think people should extend the same understanding to teachers that they do to essential workers like delivery people and grocery store workers. When school begins in person, teachers will face much greater risks than them, because they are in closer physical contact with children than anyone is with customers, and children have poorer hygiene. People may say that children don’t get the coronavirus in great numbers, but clearly they are vectors. If I’m not supposed to pet your dog because he might transfer germs to me, I’m sure I shouldn’t be hugging the child you just hugged[/b].[/quote]

+1 to all of this.  It is very concerning for me as a teacher and a parent.[/quote]

.03% is the percent of deaths in the population right now. [/quote]

Do you not realize this isn’t just about death? There are other complications people are suffering from after having supposedly recovered. We don’t know what the long term effects of having COVID-19 are. And if all the schools open as normal and everyone gets sick at the same time, we will be back at square one with not having the hospital capacity to handle it.

I am extremely concerned that people like you can’t think about all the moving parts here. [/quote]
