[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tested positive for Covid yesterday.  I am a teacher in a country where schools have been open since May, and we remained open each time a student tested positive.  We would simply send the child and the child's 'bubble group' home.

I am devastated.  I have been so frightened of this for so long, but I need to work and that is the only reason I have been going to school.

I hate that parents at our school echo the sentiments I see here.  The kids are fine and the few who have had Covid bounced back quickly!  And, and, and...it's only one or two teachers, so this is a success!

But I'm the one teacher who tested positive on that routine rapid test.  I'm the one now at home and terrified.  Lovely to know that I am worth so little.  To me, the in-person learning is not a success.  [/quote]

I'm very sorry for the position you're in and that you're terrified, but my husband is a ER doctor who treats patients in the hospital with COVID. I assume you think he should keep going to work? The fact that you are now anti-in person learning because you personally got COVID is too bad, but not particularly relevant to the overall societal calculus. Europe has made the right call. Yes, schools; no, restaurants & bars. The priorities in this country are just sad.[/quote]
