Also if you close the schools where do you think most of the kids will go?Crazy Harry wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2020 12:03 pmWelcome to social media and the data age where everyone's an expert and everyone's concerned with how they; and they alone are impacted. Just because it appears on screen in social media doesn't make it right or even true.
Close schools (and that was my expert field for the best part of 40 years) and you take out around 25% of the workforce for child care - just look at the kick back for snow closures and teacher strike days. Of course we could always ask one of the vulnerable groups (grandparents) to child mind!
The longer the population works the longer the lights stay on; petrol and food get to supermarkets and those who are well enough can carry on working. In the end I guess almost all of us will need to catch it to prevent it returning as another epidemic. First thing I'd do is turn off the internet
Not everyone will go and sit in the house with granny, most teenagers will be hanging around in shopping centres (if they are still open) wiping their grubby snot and pee soaked hands everywhere.
