Jeez, that’s a lot of dramatic hot air. No biggie.
Anyway, back on topic.
First case in my county. What’s funny is that everyone is super aware of this, and yet every time we go up or down stairs, the kids literally run their hands down the stair railing. Like, you shouldn’t do that anyway in a school (and definitely not when you are going to lunch!) but you’d think that, with all of the emphasis on germs and the like, they’d be way more aware of it? Gross.
I do wonder how widespread this will get. I would assume it will really spread. Will be interesting to see what the bigger-picture outcomes are as we start to get a bigger data set with American (rather than Chinese) reporting. Starting to suspect that school closures will become more widespread... classrooms are just such hotbeds of germs, especially in an elementary school... but if you close down a school, how long does it have to STAY closed to actually put a dent in transmission? I would wager it would be weeks and weeks and weeks, which seems impossible to handle. I also wonder if schools are looking at this as a possible legal issue... all you need is a kid to die and I bet someone would be thinking law suit....?
