... teacher & 10 students were missing w/ Covid. The kids in the classroom were unsettled, they asked her to stay. She did, despite the risk. She & the children wore masks throughout. She tried to provide reassurance, stability & some learning for a week.
And caught Covid.

She is isolating in her bedroom. She says it's like the flu x 1 million. I've not heard from her in 48 hrs. Her husband, who has only just recovered from a life-threatening drop in platelets, brings her food wearing mask & gloves. And everyone prays he won't catch it.

Honestly, how is this right? I understand the school's need, and the children's. But to call someone in without telling them? To put them on the spot? To count on their diligence and dedication? Are teachers exchangeable? Oh yeah, one is out, let's just rope another one in?

She tells me the children are deeply unsettled. Of course they are, look at the turmoil, the change in teachers, the missing classmates. I understand she wanted to help. But is this seriously better than them staying at home? Where they're safe?
And my friend's not alone.

Doctors, nurses, service staff, carers, repairers - all faced with the same predicament: To do their job, to take care of people, and risk their health or that of someone else, someone they love.
This isn't right.
Nothing, no one can justify this.

She's just been in touch. No change, not for the better but at least not for the worse. Thank heavens.

A special thank you to everyone wishing her and her family well. There's so many of you lovely people that I cannot respond to all, but I have read all of your replies and point her to them as well. Thank you all! π€
