You know, I had the same thought at first but I was actually talking to Mayor Jacobs earlier today and he said schools closing does present a concern because school is the main way children in some low income families eat a good meal. I retract my eye roll from reading the headline.

I don’t. It’s fundamentally f-ed up if the schools primary function is nutrition and day care. Sending your child to school everyday doesn’t vacate that responsibility of the parent. Yes I understand that the lunch room in the school provides the meal, however I’ve always felt that food delivery should be the only responsibility. The assumption of parental oversight on this in public education is massive over reach as far as I’m concerned.

Something seems off to me..how are the China and Italy cases so serious vs the rest of the world? Affected population age or alternative reporting criteria...different strain? 92% of the serious cases are in those two countries

I noticed that. Only a few true hot spots once it left mainland China. Then the virulence went down quite a bit.

Ohio closed all k-12 schools for at least 3 weeks. Inslee is expected to announce something similar for WA in an hour. Several school districts here have already closed for at least the next 6 weeks.

World hibernation month here we come

For myself I thought that at first as well. But I get it. Eliminate large gatherings of people thus slowing down the spread. Hopefully this allows our healthcare system to keep up with this virus and battle it accordingly

We should have had (need to have) a nationwide shutdown for about 2 weeks. People who are able can work from home. Schools use spring break as one of the two weeks. Postpone (not cancel) sporting events, concerts, conventions, etc.
Give the medical community and the experts time to get a gauge on the situation and come up with an actual plan.
Should have happened a week ago. It is now happening piecemeal which only grows the panic while being less effective.

It's just silly to eliminate gatherings over this, I mean we don't eliminate gatherings during flu season. People listen to the hysterical media way too much. All these teams, organizations, leagues and coaches are all pansies and they don't want to be the one to stand up and show leadership.
