[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daycare in NW DC just announced closure until the end of March, following the lead of schools in MD and DC.  Will be an interesting few weeks at home "working from home" for DH and I with twin toddlers ... [/quote]

You’re fortunate.  Many employees cannot work from home.

Most doctors and nurses have kids, as do pharmacists and grocery store employees.  They have no choice but to work.  If all daycares are closed, who will watch their children?

I see both sides.....it’s a very difficult situation and decision.  The failure of our president has made it much worse.  There should be funding available to pay workers, who are not essential personnel, to stay home with their children.  Essential personnel should get hazard pay in addition to regular pay, funded by the government.  If we could just slow 3/4 of the country down, keep them isolated, I believe things would turn around before we become Italy.[/quote]

Its not jost those folks.  State and county governments, social workers, police, any of the helping or service professions.[/quote]

+1. We still have infrastructure that need to be maintained. Unless you plan on digging a latrine in your backyard, the sewer and water treatment still needs tending. Same with our electric grid. Communication and cell towers. 
And these people have children that need care. [/quote]
