Anyone want to babysit?  Day 1 of bring your kids to work month was pretty rough...

No doubt it causes a hardship on many, but I think it’s a no-brainer.   When the Govt is suggesting groups of no more than 10, how can anyone justify keeping schools open?   First, and I don’t mean to be callous, schools are educational systems, not daycare.   And you can bet your last quid the disease is being transmitted through schools.

As an example, many schools in our area are on Spring Break.  Our area has not been hit yet and many will disregard current warnings.  Some will travel and come in contact with potential carriers, then return next Monday spreading it through the schools.   

I pray someone comes up with a way to combat this thing.  Walter Reed is (almost) ready to test a Medicine that will help protect the lungs of those affected.  Apparently it’s easier to find something to help those who have it than a vaccine to prevent it, but even this testing will take some time.  Until then, life as we know it will change drastically.  As usual, the ones who can least afford it will be effected the most.  The millions that work in restaurants, casinos, Disney, and virtually all in the entertainment/tourist industry.   This will be disastrous for them.

Some schools are telling the parents they have to come pick up work or they can get it online. What about the kids, like bus riders for example, that can't get a ride up there to get work? And what if they don't have internet access at their home? Are those kids going to be held accountable on grades? 

All stupid in my opinion, everybody stay safe and don't worry about school work.
