However that’s not the entire cost, what you are really doing is shifting the cost of your lost wage to the families of the six kids your kid is going to pass those sniffles on to. Now they have the same decision to make, at least a few of them are going to be in the same boat.
Yeah it sucks but if we don’t start to do this then we’re gonna need to do the lockdown again.

Fortunately my kid is old enough to stay home alone, and between a part time job at a restaurant and traveling through parts of Asia in February, masks and hand washing are pretty much second nature.
I have a few friends teaching elementary that grew tired of teaching in the proverbial petri dish and opted to teach distance learning from home. Thus far they have appreciated a decrease in the Kleenex and cold meds requirements. It's an option for many, but obviously not all. Hopefully for the kids' sake and that of many teachers, in-class teaching will be able to carry on.
