[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The political reality is that once businesses start opening back up, the pressure on schools to reopen as well will become inexorable.

We're not going to be in a place where all the stores are open but the schools remain closed. That just isn't going to happen. [/quote]

I think that's right. I think the pressure will be even more intense if a place like NYC reopens--which is very much possible even Cuomo's reluctance to close them to begin with.[/quote]

Definitely. Bowser follows what other people do. If you want to know the future, look at what Cuomo does or what Mike DeWine does in Ohio. Ohio has been way, way, way ahead of the curve on all this stuff. [/quote]

Which curve has Ohio been ahead of?[/quote]

Ohio has been the nationwide leader on coronavirus. Gov. Mike DeWine started shutting things down on March 4 (almost three weeks before Bowser got around to closing anything). At the time, people thought DeWine was nuts. And those ping pong ads the state ran illustrating the risk of coronavirus were really effective.
