[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am okay with closure (in fact think it is prudent) but I really wish the pro-closure posters on this thread didn't sound so much like they do not give a crap about anyone who isn't a suburban mom holing up in her giant house. They leave the impression they don't care about janitors, or restaurant workers, or bus drivers, or really anyone who faces eviction, loss of health insurance, or bankruptcy if they can't pay their rent.

Because they don’t. [/quote]

That is absolutely not true.  I wonder why working parents cannot creatively piece together childcare with friends/family -- surely they would be able to find a teenager or college student to watch their kids?  Or pool together with another parent to coordinate childcare?  Or ask their employer to help by allowing them to bring their child to their workplace?  Or approach their local church for help with childcare for the days they cannot get help from other sources?

Yes, I have worked as a waitress for many years prior to marriage and kids.  I know it is difficult, but this blanket statement that "noone cares about the working class" is just so irresponsible and ridiculous.[/quote]

If the whole point of closing schools is isolation don’t your proposed options undermine that.  And isn’t that the point that the anti-closure people are making - closing schools isn’t going to keep kids from spreading the virus?[/quote]
