...there were some days when we thought I was exposed that I stayed in another room.
...we installed a UV scrubber in the air handler at home, and I have a portable air purifier with UV and a filter to put in whatever room we need to for visitors or whatever. I plan to carry it to any classroom where I have to teach face-to-face (get them at Costco or HSN).
...we have NOT seen family or been to any parties or gatherings at all. We have been pretty careful to stay away from others.
...we have used masks and face shields and gloves to meetings with students and other teachers, but that stopped last fall because everything is on TEAMS or ZOOM now. Sometimes, others thought we were silly until a few people died, and several ended up in the hospital. Until the cases are fewer, I will wear PPE, change shoes entering the school, etc. We use Lysol on counters and have sanitizer everywhere.
....Schools seem to have fewer cases here than the general public, but there are certainly cases of teachers and students getting very sick or dying. If you can believe the reports, our public positivity rate is about 9-10%, and schools are more like 4-5% here.
....they are TRYING to get the vaccine to teachers and staff, but started with those who were older. Now there is not enough vaccine for everyone who is in a school.
...we use wipes on phones, car steering, tv controllers, etc.
