Vaccination Is Making America Forget a Basic Pandemic Rule – The Atlantic

During a pandemic, no one’s health is fully in their own hands. No field should understand that more deeply than public health, a discipline distinct from medicine. Whereas doctors and nurses treat sick individuals in front of them, public-health practitioners work to prevent sickness in entire populations. They are expected to think big. They know that infectious diseases are always collective problems because they are infectious. An individual’s choices can ripple outward to affect cities, countries, and continents; one sick person can seed a hemisphere’s worth of cases. In turn, each person’s odds of falling ill depend on the choices of everyone around them—and on societal factors, such as poverty and discrimination, that lie beyond their control.

Yep

No

As it turns out, there have been teachers who have requested to teach remotely because of being uncomfortable with teaching during the pandemic, and they have been told no.

Apparently, case-by-case means no and no.
