[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i don't need time. I will roll in the air purifier, put up my plexi glass partitions and setup my cleaning materials and practice wearing my hazmat suit w/ oxygen while talking. No bulletin boards! It probably harbors viruses. I will put up my clear strings of lights for decoration and safety/ cleaning posters. Now, waiting for my Steam Shark and clothes steamer to arrive....[/quote]

Steam cleaner and clothing cleaner isn't helpful.  Wash your clothing and take a shower as soon as you get home and regularly wipe down everything with cleaner.  No sharing supplies either.[/quote]

Again, I hope neither of you is responsible for teaching science.  Surface transmission from clothes?  Are you kidding?  I know you are kidding about the oxygen, but get a grip.  I have been teaching highschoolers, in-person, all school year; everyone in masks; and it has been just fine.[/quote]

Your teaching at a private is very different and it’s really selfish to be in person right now. [/quote]

Actually, it's not and it's not.  It is science-based.[/quote]

Depends on which science you look at.  You can always find a study or justification but if you look at real numbers schools, camps and other group care helps the spread.  Thanks for being part of the problem and not part of the solution.[/quote]

You can find studies that say that, but the meta-analyses say otherwise.

Yes, there's an individual risk to going to school in-person. If you would otherwise stay home, it's going to be riskier for you to go to school.

But from a broader perspective, reopening schools does not have a significant effect on the total number of cases in the community. There's no *public* health reason to keep schools closed.[/quote]
