Re-opening schools during a pandemic

[no_hypocrisy]

As a teacher, I was thinking of the entire school day. Logistically, maybe you can space out the desks and regulate hallway traffic.

How do you keep boys rooms and girls rooms virus-free, not to mention restrooms for teachers and the teachers' rooms?

But for elementary and middle schools, will recess be canceled? There's no way to enforce kids playing together with social distancing. Not to mention the expected bullying. When I was a kid, someone could be singled out and made a pariah over something as abstract (or real) as "cooties." Will personnel on the playground know about and stop kids from attacking an unpopular classmate by "Run away from Jack! He's got Covid!"

And school administration should have their files up to date, such as does a student live with aunts, uncles, grandparents, great grandparents, etc.? Should that child receive heightened scrutiny as s/he could be a potential carrier of the Virus even without getting sick him/herself. Multiply that risk if that child has siblings.
