It was not an easy call for anyone in authority. I am glad it wasn't on my shoulders.
But of course we each had to do what was best for us. If teachers thought that being in the classroom was too risky, then they may have decided to do another type of work temporarily. Some people like the ones who work in grocery stores are the true hero's to me. The people most at risk, usually were retired and could shelter in place and protect themselves and others, but some could not. This awful pandemic was not something that could be solved with edicts and legislation. I think most people got tired of doing what they were told. I am amused at the ones who preach about doing this or that, but allow themselves convenient loopholes to do pretty much what they wanted to do.
Humans are strange animals. I cannot wait to get the vaccine and see the end of this.

It was solved by edicts and legislation in New Zealand, Taiwan, Australia, and a number of other countries.
