re: Emergency meeting scheduled to go over online learning and future calendar

This really isn't difficult to figure out.

COVID spreads faster than the flu. The transmission period is longer than the flu. The cCFR is higher than the flu and it kills the elderly at exponentially higher rates.

The elderly use hospitals the same as everyone else. If you have rapid spread/infection in a geographic region then you may overwhelm the medical system which, in turn, affects everyone.

Stop thinking about howit affects you individually and think about how it affects your surrounding medical community.
