Bleach.
Wal-Mart.

Let that sink in.

This is getting out of hand. At least so far our Governor has sated that at the state level, he's not going to order the closing of anything. It's up to the local munis/districts to decide if they want to. We've got a major band concert (high school, all state thing) this weekend... there was some wory that it would be cancelled. the hosting school has said "bring it on! we're open!" .... and now.... sigh... we''ve now got one parent that seems to have blinked and asked if it was mandatory because they're worried about the virus. Sigh. I want to reply... I really do.... You know... at this point, yer kid is just as likely to get it at the band concert as he is at school, so what difference does it make....also being in the under 20 range, he's got a better chance at recovery than you do.... please lady.....

I'm somewhere between some of the Draconian measures being taken and saying just let it run it's course. I'm sixty-five so I guess I'm in the risk group. I don't think "shutting the world down" will stop it. Probably common sense measures the CDC and WHO recommend is the way to go.
