So when health care providers around the country were striking,  writing articles and speaking to the press about lack of access to protective equipment and protocols you felt they were “pitching a fit”? Doctors and nurses are literally paid to care for sick people. [b]They also get to wear protective equipment, have access to testing, and make much more money than teachers. [/b]There’s also no expectation that they go home and continue working on their own time. The jobs have nothing in common in terms of expectations and compensation. They work with one patient and then move on-they aren’t expected to hang out with a big group of unmasked patients in a small room all day, entertaining them and teaching through their masks. [/quote]

As it happened, doctors and nurses were pitching fits because they didn't get to wear protective equipment and also didn't have access to testing.

As for money - home health care aides earn about $12/hour.[/quote]
Right, and everyone was outraged. Yet people don’t understand why teachers are now demanding protections for OUR safety be put in place. I don’t remember people complaining about all the health care providers (dermatologists, gynecologists, even GPs) providing telehealth appointments during the height of the pandemic, either.
Home health aides don’t have degrees, also not comparable to a teacher with a masters degree.  [/quote]

Say what? It's reasonable to expect home health care aides to endanger themselves while doing their job because they don't have master's degrees? Doctors and nurses should take on risks because they're well-paid, and low-paid essential workers should take on risks because they don't have college degrees, but teachers - well, teachers what?[/quote]
