That's almost malicious and here's why.
What happens if a student catches covid? They stay at home and just miss class for 2 weeks? What if a student is a close contact? Do they still go to class or do they stay at home? You're incentivizing students to go to class despite possible exposure.
My school has mandatory vaccinations and is a small school but 1 week in there's already 68 positive cases. Thankfully everything is live streamed and stored for future viewing, and some classes will also host a zoom with a TA for live questions during lecture.

- abdullahkhalids 5y agoIt's extremely common for students to miss classes - which is apparent when you are on the teacher side of things. For example, in Fall 2019 (before Covid), I had 60 students across my various courses. Three of them missed weeks of classes each because they had some significant medical issues. Others missed a week of classes because they were going to some extracurricular competition. Nothing bad happened to them. We just accommodated for their issues.
