Rosy Maths<p>UGH! Home sick. Again. </p><p>Not VERY sick, just enough that going in to work means I end up exhausted and feverish by the end of the day. Also, I don't think sharing is caring when it comes to viruses!</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SchoolsAreSuperspreaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SchoolsAreSuperspreaders</span></a></p>
GinevraCat<p>Today we have a staff development afternoon. To start off, we have to have lunch with the staff of 3 other schools, to promote "togetherness".</p><p>There's a reason I stick to my own side of our school buildings. </p><p>It's as if COVID does not exist.</p><p><a href="https://toot.community/tags/SchoolsAreSuperSpreaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SchoolsAreSuperSpreaders</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/COVIDisAirborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>COVIDisAirborne</span></a></p>
fritzoids<p>CO2 at school today. The class went to the park during 5th period because the history teacher is out sick and the music teacher had already finished with today's lesson.<br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/IndoorAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndoorAir</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/IndoorCO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndoorCO2</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SchoolsAreSuperspreaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SchoolsAreSuperspreaders</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CleanAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CleanAir</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cleanair4all" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cleanair4all</span></a></p>
GinevraCat<p>Super happy to see a bunch of students wearing masks at school today. (I mean, obviously it's better if they don't come to school sick, but at least they are protecting others). Let's hope it spreads (the masking, not the respiratory bugs).</p><p><a href="https://toot.community/tags/MaskTogether" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaskTogether</span></a> <a href="https://toot.community/tags/SchoolsAreSuperSpreaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SchoolsAreSuperSpreaders</span></a></p>
fritzoids<p>This is a stand that was originally designed to display magazines and newspapers. About 2 years ago my children's primary school installed it in the entrance area. They use it for the teachers to put out little worksheet packages for the children who are home sick. It used to be that if someone was sick their friend would bring them the worksheets etc. But at some point too many kids were sick at the same time.

fritzoids<p>I am very fortunate to have a good enough rapport with a teacher at my kids' school (grades 5-13), that they will go and check that the air purifiers in "our" classrooms are functional and they have shown my 7th grader how to switch them on and will show my 5th grader today.<br>On some mornings they also tweet out how many children at the school are out sick or if there is a cluster of something (pertussis e.g.) at the school.<br>This is the New Normal™️<br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CovidIsNotOver</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SchoolsAreSuperspreaders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SchoolsAreSuperspreaders</span></a></p>

rhtunstall<p>I probably shouldn’t post about this… It’s just that watching my wife suffer through covid this last week and rush back prematurely to an unmasked <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bced" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bced</span></a> school is beyond disheartening. I feel sick.</p><p>After barely 6 covid sick days off, bced staff started calling, desperate for her to return to work. There were no substitutes available to cover for my wife, who previous to covid has had to live with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. </p><p>She is now slowly recovering from a <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>covid</span></a> infection she received from the unmasked <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bced" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bced</span></a> class she’s so hastily been thrown back into.</p><p>This is truly unsustainable <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bctf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bctf</span></a>. Covid sick students should be masked. Fellow staff and teachers should be masked. My wife got sick while wearing an N95 everyday simply due to the unchecked viral load being accepted and normalized in <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/bced" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bced</span></a> schools.</p><p>If we’ve learned anything this last year, it’s that one way masking is just not good enough. Does <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/worksafebc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>worksafebc</span></a> even care? I’m sorry but your child’s maskless attendance should not be more important than my partner’s lifelong health.</p><p>Due to my wife’s diligent masking while sick, I managed to avoid covid this time. We also slept apart every night and barely saw each other this last week.</p><p>It’s not lost on me, however, that had parents and teachers done the same and masked their sick kids, this all could have been avoided.</p><p>In the end we’re all only as strong as our weakest link. In this case our weakest link is our covid minimizing, uncaring “top doctor” health minister <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/BonnieHenry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BonnieHenry</span></a>. </p><p>Teachers are not expendable.
