[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, this is terrifying. I would quit if I lived in MD. My children have asthma, my dh has a heart condition, and my elderly uncle who also lives with us has diabetes.

Considering the fact that children are highly infectious and often don’t show symptoms of Coronavirus, I don’t see how this is safe. [/quote]

So- this isn't meant to be critical AT ALL.  But I have someone in my immediate family who is very immunocompromised and we are sheltering in place.  I pulled the kids out of school/daycare last week.  DH is teleworking, I am more in a fee for service industry and I have largely put that on hold to care for the kids.  We have enough food/supplies for 2+ months and a plan for replenishment if it goes longer.  That's what we have to do, because we cannot risk getting the virus AT ALL.  This isn't about flattening the curve for us.

Many of my neighbors are still working and doing what THEY have to do.  Largely middle class neighborhood and I don't blame them one bit.  [/quote]

Pp here. I make 38k working full time. That is not enough to make it here let alone to have the kind of savings it takes or be ready for a crisis in the dc area. And now teachers in my same situation are being told to risk their lives and those of their loved ones so that people that make more than twice what I do don’t have to keep their kids home and take leave?[/quote]
