Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cadence" data-source="post: 8058225" data-attributes="member: 6701124">I'm university faculty and my spouse is on staff. Luckily our building has outside air vented in, windows that open, and water based AC/heat with separate blowers in each room.She had to start going in twice a week this week (first time since March, had been working from home; alternating days with the person in the next office; no one live Friday).  One person needing help at a time in her office, giant plexiglass shield in front of her desk, masks required.  We bought a nice HEPA filter for her office.  The campus is basically empty for another few weeks. We'll see when the students start coming back.Half of our faculty are only teaching online. The rest are similar to what I'll have. 75 seat classroom capped at 25 students iirc.  I was going to be streaming the classes live (and making recordings) anyway for our graduate distance program.  I think they said anyone who isn't masking needed it cleared with the disabilities office.  If they hadn't had it look like a lot of our international grad students  would be hosed if we went all virtual, I might have asked to switch to just recorded.  At least they changed that rule eventually.My son has the option of either doing 6th grade all on line, or 2 days live+3 days online.  Since we can work at home alternating days he's staying home. My guess is we won't even get close to Thanksgiving before it's all virtual everywhere.  If so, hopefully it's just a few positive tests leading to mass quarantines and not a bunch of dead teachers, and dead grandparents the kids live with or get day care from.Really wish everyone could have at least tried over the past few months  (not complete lock down even, just close the high risk places [gyms, bars, crowded places with singing or yelling], mask, use curb-side pick up instead of going in, etc..).  We might have been at a 1% positive rate on tests instead of close to 20% or whatever it is now here -- and these plans might  have had a better chance of working.Anyway.  One or two nights a week of EDH (Magic) via spelltable and discord, and running 5e on Google meet for my son and two of his friends.</blockquote>
