I feel like this tool is similar in spirit to this idea.

Those are just the courses specifically in the mathematics department. You also cover mathematics within the physics courses themselves of course. Especially in quantum mechanics and E&M. You also might be required to take more math depending on the structure of your degree program, I did a focus in chemistry as well so took more chemistry and less math than other students.

I also can't say how many hours I spent on this. But the overwhelming amount of my homework time, every night, was spent writing proofs and solving mathematical equations. To a lay person physics work probably looks no different than mathematics. It was all math all the time :) Sometimes I would have a homework assignment that was only a few "problems" that would take me a dozen hours to solve. As for aptitude, I was probably in the middle amongst other physics students, but that group overall was above average already.

My child's classroom closed for a week because of a positive case. My child tested negative, so she can still potentially get sick which would cause _another_ closure plus she would have to quarantine for 10 days. There are 8 kids in the classroom, so I could be looking at losing 7*5+10 days of child care before this is over.

Now, you could argue that maybe had the doctors known more about leishmaniasis he would have received a diagnosis faster. However, I imagine the situation played out about as well as one should hope. Certainly in Bolivia (where he picked up the disease) they should be more aware of the common causes of things than the uncommon. They should not be inspecting for brown recluse bites when there are rarely any just as we should not look at every necrotizing wound and investigate it as an uncommon case of leishmaniasis.
