You an LPN?

Honestly teachers appear to be some of the safest workers out there. Worldwide, transmission from student to teacher is almost nonexistent. One study I read LINK but there are plenty of others out there.

Hey

I’m not a nurse, that’s why I asked the OP

I wear a mask unless I’m exercising outside.
I don’t change shoes in the car.
I’ve always washed my hands frequently.
I’m not particularly social so my normal is social distancing.

I’m hopeful this will pass eventually.

The problem is social media has created a sort of binary culture of either, “we must all live like a hobbit for 5 years”, or “we should not do anything.”

Somewhere in the reasonable middle is a rational way to manage risk.

If you are very old or sick, live like a hobbit.

If you are young and healthy, live your life with some modifications.

Thank you for taking the time to type all of this out.

Sigh

But you didn’t read the second part punk.

I’m a full time nurse in a large hospital.

This is cowardly.

Fast food workers and convenience store clerks face more of the public than teachers do.

This is propaganda.
