2. The daughter of a friend taught in the Gadsden County School System

Just west of Leon County. She taught remotely last spring but when they gave the info on how they would proceed with teaching in person this year, she took a sabbatical. She may not return to teaching, though she loves it. She's just too worried about her exposure with the lack of concern the school board has for their students and their teachers.

Another reason is that her father is vulnerable - he's had heart problems all his life and now it looks as though he is into congestive heart failure. His lungs keep filling with fluid, he goes into the hospital, they clear him up and then the cycle happens again. So far he has tested negative for Covid-19 but if he gets it, that will finish him. She does not want to be the one to give it to him.
