I honestly couldn't care less about these rules or covid-19, aside from one vital point, which I didn't mention in my earlier post:
If I get the sniffles or if one of my students does, the class gets shut down for two weeks, and I receive no pay. Furthermore, if I get it, I need to stay at home during this time period.
Other industries do not get affected with such draconian measures, and therefore literally the only people who care about it are folks who will lose their money and their freedom should they contract the stupid virus.
