Discussion in teachers lounge more than a week after funeral: all who use the lounge may participate in the conversation there is no expectation of privacy. A question about the departed’s health and condition totally fine and appropriate. Vax status ok to ask about. Widow of course does not need to answer nor engage with any individual. Smirking about death of a colleague’s spouse is a no class move.

Turbo cancer is real. Hopefully, HR realizes there is little to go on here.
