[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.  Keep in mind those people are a small (yet vocal) minority.  All the teachers that I know IRL want to go back into the classroom.  (Of course, my friends and I are in the 25 to 50 year old set.)[/quote]

This.

Also OP, are the people saying this teachers?

DH is worried.  I'm high risk, he could bring it home.   But "scared"?  No.  [/quote]

Not just teachers. Pretty much everyone who seems to have this irrational fear that they are going to get Covid-spread it to everyone in their family and all die.

[b]Fun fact: of you have been watching the moco dashboard the death rate is 0.05%.[/b] [/quote]

Fun Fact: Learn math!  674 deaths out of 14,004 cases is 0.048, NOT 0.05[b]%[/b].  It's 4.8%

Enjoy the rally in Tulsa this afternoon![/quote]
NP. Actually those 14,004 cases are the ones they know of. I have read in an article that the actual cases may be more than 20 times that. So 4.8/20 would give a mortality rate of 0.24%[/quote]

That seems very speculative to me. If 20 times the number of people have had it, that’s 280,000. MoCo population is about 1 million. Do you really think over 1/4 of everyone has had it? No antibody testing anywhere has shown numbers anything like that.[/quote]
It may seem surprising at first sight, but it is probably true. If you look at Johns Hopkins link PP  has provided, there are a number of countries with case fatality rates below 0.5%. True fatality rate needs to be lower than that.[/quote]
