If there had been a plague in elite homes, we would have heard about it. (And there aren't all that many elite homes.)
Teaching school during the pandemic isn't some kind of death sentence. Teachers mostly retire before 65, and the vast majority of COVID deaths is people over 65. Solution - stay open, and if a teacher wants to retire at 55 - fund that fully, with Fed help, if necessary.

And approximately how many homes are you counting as "elite"? > if a teacher wants to retire at 55 - fund that fully, with Fed help, if necessary I eagerly await this policy. Though it's too late for anyone in the 2020-2021 school year. And how do you plan to deal with the resulting teacher shortage? There's actually already a teacher shortage, because many decided to quit in the past couple years.
- wrycoder 4y ago> why Because we hear of everything COVID that helps to raise the fear factor. And, I don’t count teachers paid to sit at home as “teachers”.
