[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What good is it to deep clean public schools if the public is still using them. Hypothetically, schools are closed two weeks. EMT Eric drops little Emily at the daycare every day while he rushes coronavirus patients to the ER. He does this all 10 weekdays of the closure. When does the school get deep cleaned again before 67 year old Teacher Tessa who is on Humira returns to teach third graders? Don’t say Saturday and Sunday. We were told it would take five days to deep clean. [/quote]

There's only so much we can do. If little Emily has nowhere to go, EMT Eric can't transport any patients anywhere.

Essential services have to remain running. [/quote]

+1 They need to have childcare, otherwise they cannot go to work.

In China the childcare thing was less of a problem because of the historic only-child policies  and cultural traditions. This means that over there, EMT Eric and EMT Eric's wife (let's assume she is a nurse, so both are in essential services) are BOTH only children. Now, EMT Eric only has one kid (even though one child formally ended, most urban couples only have one). So that means EMT Eric's kid is the only cherished grandbaby of FOUR grandparents who likely ALL live near EMT Eric. Two of them may even live with EMT Eric. So his kid has ample childcare.  In this case, to protect the grandparents, the Chinese state will put up EMT Eric and his wife in state-owned (or temporarily under state use) hotel rooms near the hospital while the grandparents watch baby in EMT Eric's apartment.[/quote]
