Lots of Meemaws are not going to make Christmas this year. https://t.co/AMEAbaNGi6

And also:

> These threats run counter to the fact that, by and large, school districts are already fine-tuning social-distancing measures and mandating mask-wearing.

This is the premise of the article.

uhhh....

And a teacher can face upwards of 180 people a day.  I want to see a nurse who comes in close contact with that many people a day in an ICU setting, even a hospital setting, and without wearing any PPE beyond, maybe, a cloth mask. (and how many masks do you see in that picture?  2?  Maybe 3?  By the end of the week, it'll be down to zero.  Nobody does peer pressure like teenagers.)

The comparison of teachers to nurses is absolutely ludicrous.  Not to mention teachers aren't the only people in school buildings during the day, or who come in contact with the children.

Just under half of Texas school employees are support staff who cook, clean, drive buses and assist teachers.

Their jobs are among the riskiest jobs during a pandemic, and in many cases they’re paid much less for their work. https://t.co/neWBlM59YU

People really need to stay in their lane.
