this is not a good take. teachers are not healthcare workers and whole “im at risk so you should be too” discourse is dangerous because it does nothing to minimize overall risk/exposure to covid. this is not to say that nurses/drs SHOULD endanger their lives (1/2) https://twitter.com/chasten/status/1290667618165297152

but their services are essential to saving lives in the short term (and they deserve a lot more safety/security than they have rn) so this argument falls short. teachers are obv very important and there should be more focus on alternative education methods + accessibility

rather than assuming even more people have to put themselves in danger. this thread obvs is not as nuanced as the issue calls for but like.... this take wasn’t great
