Its weird because around here we had the first case in the upstate and it pretty much got shrugged off by schoolsI think if there are confirmed cases in the county, the local districts will start canceling.
Logistically speaking: Let's say everything gets shut down, employees get a month of paid leave, stay at home.... who monitors their movement? I mean what is to say if 331 million people are told to go home that they don't just go out to gatherings or events of their own? a 100 million households aren't going to stay locked down in their residence for weeks at a time, so how does the government enforce it?
We already have cases here and they are still open. Or do you mean to actual students?

So it's not contagious at grocery stores, gas stations and pharmacies? Not being sarcastic just trying to point out the logistics of these measures in a Country this size is extraordinarily difficultClose down everything but grocery stores, gas stations, and pharmacies.
One of the things I've heard about more than once is false negatives. But I don't know if that was due to a different type of test than we're developing or if it was more an attribute of this virus.
Read a china doctor say this. Hold your breathe for 10 seconds, when you stop you shouldnt cough. If you have corono youd have a coughibg spell as soon as you started back breathing. Now take with boulder of salt.
Awesome! Great for you! Want a medal for it? Unfortunately, the world does not revolve around YOU. There are many, many people that can get seriously ill from this. I'm worried for my own grandparents who are immunocompromised. Maybe you won't get sick, but just cause you won't, doesn't speak for the rest of the population.
There is no overreacting to this. We deal with this hard and swiftly, and every suspension and cancelation done in response to this outbreak is done to slow this thing down.
I'm sorry if I came off that way, but I'm not thrilled seeing posts that insinuate "Well if I can get through this, anyone can!" I'm not here for it. Sorry.You don’t have to be a ----.
2 +weeks ago. Red tape for vaccine development by private sector. Encourage them to get in and speed process upOMG I feel like I'm living in bizarro world when I read these articles. You weren't talking about red tape a week ago? You said 1 Million test kits by last weekend and another million by this weekend.
“We’re clearing the red tape out of the way. That’s going to be the way that in the days ahead we’re going to have a broad-based test available across the country," he said.

“The population density in the United States is 36 per Km2 (94 people per mi2). The median age in the United States is 38.3 years.”
And if/when they close schools, so many kids will go without, especially as the jobs dry up.![]()

I don’t know how all the cancellations will be able to get refunds out.I bought Red Sox tickets for a game at the end of June ?I'm sure I'll get refunded, but damn it. Been waiting years to go.
That is my fear. I live in Nashville and my job is service sector.And if/when they close schools, so many kids will go without, especially as the jobs dry up.
