Tiny sudden stops

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) The infection of a single cafeteria worker was all it took to close classrooms in the small Lowellville school district in northeastern Ohio, forcing at least two weeks of remote learning.

Not only did the worker who tested positive for the coronavirus need to quarantine, but so did the entire cafeteria staff and most of the transportation crew, because some employees work on both. The district of about 500 students sharing one building had resumed in-person instruction with masks and social distancing and avoided any student infections. But without enough substitute workers, administrators had no choice but to temporarily abandon classroom operations and meal services
.

Small school district, board members from the parents, no one is working the cafeteria until the tests are done.  This is not solvable by a different government philosophy, not now, not on the spot.  These are local stops by people who have never heard those theories.
