Texas too.... Texas State Fair cancelled for the first time since WWII
but they are still planning on having 30 kids in a classroom with a 60 year old teacher 5 days a week.
Yeah at this point a mainly outdoor event like a State Fair seems much less risky than schools.
I am not a state fair regular, but my math suggests a mean weight of 322 and consumption of 1.3 packs of heaters per day among state fair attendees. So I’d say it would be a high risk event.Yeah at this point a mainly outdoor event like a State Fair seems much less risky than schools.

Yes.
There's still a risk and I'm not going to go to a huge crowd inside or out.
But so far as far as I know the lockdown protests, BLM protests, and huge gatherings like over Memorial Day in the Ozarks didn't have huge spikes associated with them, while indoor activities like bars, restaurants, packed workplaces, etc. have.
I'd think an indoor classroom with 20-30 germ magnets/spreaders is very high risk for an older teacher compared to an outdoor event. And really when I was at the Iowa State Fair it was very hot, and staying a good distance from people/crowds was pretty natural and easy.
Our neighbor behind us was a nuclear engineer for many many years. He is pretty convinced that much like radiation, the amount of contagion, as well as time spent in an environment with contagion is playing a factor in how seriously ill a person gets from COVID (among other factors). Schools seem like a Rona Chernobyl.

There are few places better for gems than a school. It's like a petri dish. Every kid looks most, drippy, germy, snotty... pretty much every Dwarf that didn't make the cut for Snow White...
Close 30 off them in a classroom for an hour with one old fart teaching them, and then repeat with new kids 4 more times, 5 days a week, 36 weeks a year.
Add to all that, any exposure mandates a 14 day Quarantine, and teachers only get 10 sick days a year.
And I'm not saying a State Fair should happen. They likely shoudn't. It's just interesting that schools are opening as normal while events that allow for more movement and are outside are cut out.

my problem is that I've not heard anyone even address it. Not NEA, TEA, Federal, State, County, or School District....My wife is a teacher and says they're working on adjusting this for Covid. Obviously they can't expect you to teach part or full time in a classroom and only give you 10 days. That would seem like Russian Roulette to me.
Teachers should strike if they aren't offered hazard pay.my problem is that I've not heard anyone even address it. Not NEA, TEA, Federal, State, County, or School District....
Katy Turr at 4:40pm Central Time today was the first TV person or Politician I have heard even mention that it's more than kids in schools.... there are teacher's who are at much greater risk....
also, Teachers are not "Essential Employees" so no Hazard Pay.
