Is it being faithful or being selfish?

Andrew is currently outside meeting with colleagues.  School begins for him next week, and Thomas will begin the following Monday.  We are still trying to come up with how they are both going to work here, but Andrew is hoping to go in to his classroom for at least a couple of days a week.  The decision to be fully remote made me very relieved, and yet so incredibly sad all at the same time.  I feel safer having them at home, but I am sad for everything we are all missing.

As things are developing, I am becoming less and less convinced that Andrew will get paid for his supplemental.  As of right now, I am not planning to look for any employment (or hopefully go back to subbing!) until January.  And that brings me to my question...am I having faith that it will all work out, or am I being selfish in not working?  At the same time, is it selfish to NOT want to expose our family to additional people by working?  These conflicted feelings definitely go along with all of the conflicted emotions so many people are feeling!
