[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean think about all the stuff that MUST keep happening to prevent people from dying.

You need food, food distribution, food manufacturing, and farmers.  You need power and water.  You need the entire energy industry.  You need the people who maintain roads and infrastructure.  You need gas stations.  You need people who manufacture and distribute gloves and IVs and medicine.

Plus crime and safety. So police, emts, paramedics, lawyers. Judges. And their support staff.  We still need social workers to protect kids.

For all the people teleworking you need internet. It workers.  Server maintenance people.

You 100% can't say "no one but doctors out".  We live in an interconnected society.[/quote]

Then keep elementary schools open too.  Younger elementary kids need supervision.

The issue is that if regular daycares are open, people who don't really need to will send their kids and it will spread the virus.  If you close daycares and designate facilities for people who declare need, you still provide coverage for societal needs pp mentioned.   You have to accept human behaviour that few people will voluntarily act in public interest and keep kids home if they have non critical jobs and don't want to burn leave (but can afford unpaid leave). However if you had to declare need, it might keep people away.  Fewer kids in daycare means less spreading, which is the goal.   LA has set up family resource centers for families in need (and to provide food). [/quote]
