I mean, medical staff still has to show up at hospitals. Using long commutes as an excuse to close schools is kinda weird

Not the same

Not the same thing. Teachers will still have to work a day of the year regardless. It's just tacked onto June, instead, where students will be expected to show up anyway. Doesn't work like that in medicine.

still not an excuse! though ive worked hospitals before for many years and I can tell you: your local library is not the same. just to add: tomorrow my entire city dept will be closed, with everyone working from home, except for schools and libraries. its not safe for office folks to commute but fuck me and my people? its all dumb.

I have an office job and nobody is saying don't come in. It's literally a dusting.
