I just can't keep up [teaching]

Day 2 of the spring semester and I already need a Pandemic Teaching Bingo Card.

I'm not sure what would go in every square, but there should definitely be several squares for "Student put on medical leave" (Basically the euphemism for when they're contact traced or test positive). Got my first one of those today.

Probably also a square for "Covid test required"

And "Changes to classroom capacities"

What else?

I really hope not, but it seems unwise to leave "abrupt change of policy" off the bingo card.

YES!!!!

Supply chain surprises.

Unanticipated internet outage.

Hehehehe, definitely. I started a suggestion thread on Social Media Site Brand F and these definitely came up. A colleague who teaches microbiology is having a very hard time obtaining disposable lab coats and nitrile gloves for her labs, which in hindsight surprises no one.
