[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop paying teachers for work they aren’t doing and maybe their lackadaisical attitude toward reopening will shift.

Covid will be here for years, perhaps forever - even with a vaccine. Teachers (and all of us) will need to live with that. Not reopening schools for years isn’t an option.

Same teachers complaining about going into schools to pick up their belongings likely still going grocery shopping.

Going into a grocery store for 45 min. where everyone is masked, at a time when many people are otherwise staying home, and numbers are limited is quite different.  Surely you can understand that?  Surely you can understand the apprehension? I am not a teacher, but I’m so sick of the teacher hate on here.  They didn’t cause the pandemic.  No one was prepared for it.  [/quote]

I am also sick of the teacher hate, but being surprised teachers won't even enter the building isn't hate, it's science. PP described folks signing up in shifts, and wearing PPE. There is no credible disease transmission model for COVID that makes that a risky behaviour. [/quote]

People aren’t wearing PPE, they are wearing cotton socks on their face.

If someone infected enters the stagnant building and exhales in the hallway through their janky mask before you, it can be suspended for 30 minutes for you to breathe it in.

If they carefully route teachers through separate entrances with 3 hrs between each person, that reduces risk considerably, but doubt they can coordinate that well. [/quote]

Actually, no. I'll let a scientist come in with the numbers, but someone would need to be totally unmasked and actively ill and coughing for the viral load in the air 30 minutes later to be remotely dangerous.

Even an asymptomatic infected person would not exhale enough virus to infect another person walking down the same hall later in the day.[/quote]
