@megan_saupe Two people who are related to me are currently in the hospital because they have been diagnosed and are not allowed to leave until they receive two consecutive negative tests.
This pandemic has already revealed that:
- schools are so much more than just schools.
- many people now realize how tough it is to be a teacher and that teachers are grossly underpaid.
- teachers are irreplaceable and essential to learning and education.

Sure coronavirus may not equal life or death for you, but before you publicly express how dramatic you think people are being, spare a thought for pregnant women, people living with a long term health condition, and the elderly. Not everyone is young, healthy and without risk.
I understand the frustration of our lives being uprooted, but I implore you to trust the decisions being made by public health officials. I urge you to discontinue the narrative that a pandemic is inconvenient to your life.
This can't be a "me" mentality. It has to be a "we".
