I’ll be honest. If I’m feeling sick, I’m still coming into work. I can’t afford to wait two weeks for the symptoms to lessen in order to return. The government is going to have to have a huge stimulus package to prevent people like me from trying to make money.

It is obvious how many feel that schools are essentially daycares

While true, it will still significantly reduce spread. By closing schools, we just reduced potential viral transmission events by billions in a community.
What are your credentials? Because I’ve heard the opposite from experts that say to keep schools open especially for this disease that doesn’t effect children. Dr. Osterholm on Joe Rogan said 37% of nurses have school age kids and to keep the schools open so they can work.
Furthermore, we are only assuming we are flattening the curve AND that it needs flattened.
I have bad news for you people, you are going to get the disease and a good portion of us probably already have it. The Chinese stats are BS and the government won’t tell you this but in order for their curve to flatten out like it has then millions have to have the disease. It only stops spreading when everyone has it so it can’t spread anymore. In order for millions to have it in China that means that people have been sick with it for months.
So, it’s too freaking late. We needed to close schools a month ago. But hey, politicians know everything even when the experts tell them to do the opposite.

You are so simple minded. It’s sad. Don’t act deeply intellectual, like you’re a thinker or as if your comprehension is beyond everyone else and this is your moment to emerge as a leader asking key questions. This is too much for you. You’re an idiot, you can’t figure it out...no one can explain this to you in granular enough terms to satisfy your stupid little world ... just wash your hands. No one is happy. You suck.

Actually it’s planned out. There’s summer schools, summer camps, etc. that book up Well in advance and stay very busy. Yeah summer is a pain for parents actually, nice try though...

I also think people got much further along the calculation than you did when making the call.

It's a bad precedent.

The real question is, what is the logic behind the media-induced panic?

Honest question: what typically happens in summer?

basically on federal, state, and local levels there is coordination to basically shut down the country for a couple weeks and try to isolate the bug
this is what the other nations who were successful in containing the virus did, so now we get to experience what those living with less freedom (like those places do daily) do on a daily basis

Didn’t read the whole thread, but the worst part is that teachers (as if right now) still have to work the whole time. And many of these teahers have school aged children that don’t otherwise go to daycare, or are not old enough to stay by themselves. So that leaves the burden on grandmas and grandpas (who jbe said to limit exposure), or spouses to miss work time. Or the other thousands of nurses, office worked etc to now miss work to stay home with children. They didn’t really think this whole thing through.

It’s a strain on parents. But like I said above there are also a lot of camps and programs to watch kids. People take vacations. The flu also calms down so there’s no major medical issues.

How were they successful? Do you know? Iran has dug mass graves. China we have no idea. Korea looks good but again not enough data to actually know what worked there. Italy? They are failing.

The “logic” is that in a country in the midst of full blown freak out you don’t want to be the only public leader NOT freaking out. Otherwise you incur the wrath of the media/social media warriors. Not to mention plaintiffs lawyers.
This freak out is as much, if not more about the need to CYA as it is “public safety”.
