Well, it's official.
The County just announced that the schools here are going to be closed for the next two weeks.
I was just talking to my nephew about this very matter a couple of hours ago.

I tend to agree.
Slow the spread and give all the healthcare systems a chance to get testing up to speed. As well as the rest of the supply-chain apparatus.
people: WE need to be educated so that we do not panic, what do we do?
govt: Close all the schools!

Actually, closing the schools makes sense, and it's not a panic situation.
Kids, while not really effected by this, can still be carriers.
The object is to slow the spread. Give testing a chance to get up to speed.
Not overload the the healthcare systems.
Sure, some people are panicking, but that's inevitable.
Most people I've come into contact with are not panicking, and handling this with as much humor and kindness towards others, as possible.
@KKGator It was a Joke
@LenHazell53 Sorry, I missed that. I sprained my funny bone after having to do a supply run earlier.
@KKGator I was referencing Trump promising help to those suffering from hardship during the corona virus while in the same breathe taking 70,000 people off food stamps.
@LenHazell53 He's such a fucking asshole. I hate him.
@altschmerz not enough . He needs to die from it too .
Yup. Here in Washington State as well. We're all going to Hell in a hand basket. Might as well enjoy the ride down.
