Say we return to school, and a few weeks into the semester, a teacher isn't feeling well and tests positive for Coronavirus.
Do they make the teacher quarantine for 14 days? If yes, who pays for it: are sick days used or is that workers-comp? Or does sick days need to be used before worker-comp?
Does every student who interacted with that teacher need to quarantine for 14 days? classmates? Other teachers?
What about teachers who are married to other teachers? Does the significant other need to self quarantine, and what about any students that spouse interacted with?
if we test to ensure there wasn't spread among the class, who pays for the testing? Schools? The parents? What if they don't have insurance?
And... are you really going to get substitute teachers willing to come in and potentially catch Coronavirus on substitute pay?
