Is that maybe because teachers are likely to be directly exposed, whereas admin are not since they are mainly a back office role(07-02-2022, 10:48 AM)king1 Wrote: The other side of that coin is when the true numbers are not being reported because folks are gaming the system, the response to the outbreak by the medical establishment won't be appropriate for the scale of the outbreak.  I'm not sure anyone is doing the country any favours by concealing their covid status under the circumstances...I think if they are on a low income and Risk being forced into home detention for nearly a month for the sniffles many won't get tested.  
Here is an example.  My wife works for a school in the admin area.  Teachers who get the virus are on full paid leave with no impact to sick leave.  However those in the admin area will have to use sick leave and then potentially leave to cover themselves it they get sick.  A massive double standard implemented by the MOE.  So now you have the risk of someone who is sick  doesn't have enough sick leave or paid leave coming to work sick because they can't afford to take unpaid leave.
The world would be a perfect place, if it wasn't for the humans.
