If you and hog88 are going to use each others talking points, just combine them into one post. If they’re an older teacher, they should quit their career and possibly lose out on benefits because the school won’t allow them to teach from home?

What about the older gym teacher, should they get paid to sit at home? What about the old ladies working at Walmart? Or the Bank?

Point is, teachers shouldn't be the lone exception. You want to get paid, you work everyone else is

If you think education is just the class work then you are an idiot. There are things I can’t teach her. There is part of growth and education that takes place in interacting with peers. There is tons of education that takes place at schools that has nothing to do with math, reading, science etc..

Weird I work in a level 1 trauma center and our employees are fine and not whining at all

I did not say healthcare workers. I said teachers. Is your trauma center dealing with Covid or only injuries?

I’m guessing the healthcare industry is much further ahead of public schools in terms of precautions, as they should be. But apparently some did not share your views.

Thousands of health care workers demand investigation of hospitals' coronavirus response

I’m guessing no schools are going to modify their buildings to make them safer. The point is that a significant percentage of teachers are higher risk. If they can teach from home until a vaccine is introduced, what is the harm?

UFCW: Over 11,500 grocery workers affected in first 100 days of pandemic

A major Union already spoke about workers needing better protections. Many stores I’ve been to have placed plastic shields now and require masks for all that enter. As far as those that lost jobs, the whole extra $600 for unemployment was passed to help those people and will expire this month.

The whole point of my argument stems from the study on teachers that a good portion (around 20% of regular public schools) of them are higher risk and will definitely hurt the teachers and our schools in the long term if they get hospitalized or die.

As far as lazy POS, you’re saying the teachers that need to work from home are lazy POS or workers in general that want safer working conditions?

Did you even read the link you posted? 82 workers died, I’m sure we have close to that die every quarter. And the 11,500 were infected or EXPOSED. Funny they didn’t specify how many of each.

It’s a damn union capitalizing on an emergency for higher wages and less work.

I asked you earlier where was your outrage that those workers had to work or lose their jobs?

I heard a story this morning about a diner that went under due to covid. I can't even imagine how many stories like this there are across the country. A virus with a survival rate of over 99% and pushed by some with political motives have caused millions of Americans to lose a lot and some have lost everything.

I have to think a lot of businesses here that are downtown will be dead soon. Between Unum, BCBS, Cigna, TVA, banks, etc. pulling all their staff out there's very few consumers left. I think a lot of the little lunch spots will be gone if we ever go back. I think realistically you won't see people back in offices in large numbers until Q1. I doubt these businesses are built to sustain little to no sales for 9 months. Sad because for many of those people it's their entire life and for their staff the job they rely on to pay bills.

We are anticipating around 30% of all casual dining restaurants go under in the next 12 months.

Close that many die every quarter from what? How many of those are from infections working in stores? The point is better precautions are wanted. Where did they state less work or higher wages? Do military personnel not get hazard duty when deployed? So what’s the issue of paying them more?

So am I supposed to post on here for you every time I’m outraged for something? Like I said those that have lost their jobs are being helped with the bill that was passed. For those that still have to work, why would I be outraged if an essential employee still has to work unless they are higher risk?

Commercial real estate companies are being hit hard. Opportunities to reopen with better lease agreements will be the new norm.

Homeowners on the other hand, I'm not sure the lenders will be as accommodating.

Something major has to be done. The reopening initiatives will not be the rescue, I'm afraid.

One of our consultants got hit hard. Staff of 15. All of them were positive. None of them showed any symptoms for the full 2 week quarantine. All 15 got tested again afterwards, all 15 now negative.

Tests were not administered, or actually tested by one company.

I don't think we will ever go back fully to hundreds maybe thousands in these massive buildings. Some will as they won't have a choice but many will see the $$ they can save by letting their employees work from home. Especially in Nashville where those eating places had to close or have seen a massive reduction in their visitors and now they have to pay a 34% tax increase. I feel bad for them and their employees. Hopefully every business that can pull out of Nashville does so.
