This is the kind of news I'll post in multiple places - Heading to MGH for my youngest son's MRI, rescheduled from March 19th. It we get the all clear, he's officially done with treatment and gets to drop down to only once a year MRIs (for the rest of his life). We've been waiting for this day for 13 1/2 years.
Salaries in your area do not sem to be typical of most places in the US from what I have found. Nationwide between $45k and $50k.

Yep, I agree. I wasn't trying to suggest otherwise as I stated "it varies greatly state-to-state" (and area to area for sure). Apologies for not being clear. I simply was trying to convey that it's hard to paint things with a wide brush. Regardless of pay anyways (even those getting paid quite well), we should be making teachers feel safe as best we can and have protocols in place.
Very sad and shocking story about indiscriminate use of Hydroxychloroquine at a nursing home in Pennsylvania: https://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...id-19-testing/
It's reprinted in the Anchorage Daily News without a paywall:
https://www.adn.com/nation-world/202...id-19-testing/
For more than two weeks in April, a drug regimen that included hydroxychloroquine was routinely dispensed at the struggling center, often for patients who had not been tested for COVID-19 and for those who suffered from medical conditions known to raise the risk of dangerous side effects, interviews, emails and medical notes and records obtained by The Washington Post show.
Although precise estimates vary, the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs said about 30 residents received the drug. Several nursing home staff members placed the number higher. The Chester County coroner, who reviewed the medical records for some of those who died, said at least 11 residents who had received the hydroxychloroquine treatment had not been tested for COVID-19.
They're already starting to run out of PPE in Texas and Arizona, like it's April in New York. And the massive caseload spike after reopening is just beginning. If we can't even keep nurses in PPE, where the hell is it going to come from when three to 3.5 million public school teachers need it?

A bit of a troublesome report. New deaths reach 994 today, the highest in four weeks. The question is, with the increase in new cases, will new deaths begin to grow.
New cases are 55 thousand, second highest of the pandemic.
