Sadly the air transmission route is still being downplayed or not taken seriously. Extra cleaning is what schools here got instead of air filters. Masks are required from grade 4 and up, but not during lunch breaks, in the same room packed together. It's all so inconsistent. The play ground nearby has 2 different covid-19 signs. One says max occupancy 4, the other 1, crossed out and a 2 taped underneath it. The playground is outside, at least 4 times the size of a classroom (for up to 30 packed together), and never 'used' that long.

We must wear masks all the time until our lunchbreak as well, which we're supposed to have in the staff room, where there is usually, you know, staff? 

.... total lunacy. I just skip lunch. 

And yes, still too much time and money is being spent on "deep cleaning" surfaces and less resources are being spent on masks. Not only masks help protect you from the virus, but also help you develop immunity if you're expose to miniscule viral material. 

Oh well, at least vaccines seem to be on the horizon? and I am hoping those advances in COVID19 could be leveraged for HIV
