[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's kind of disgusting to hear upper middle class people with SAHMs arguing that schools should close. It seems that their voices are loudest on snow days too. For so many lower class and middle class kids, the safest place is at school. There's food, adults and activities. I know many kids sit at home in an unheated apartment watching TV on snow days with little to no food.

Parents shouldn't have to choose between working and staying home with their kids. And during this corona virus, there WON'T be camps you can pay extra to send your kids to. [/quote]

I totally agree. It's disgusting and self-centered.[/quote]

What’s disgusting and self centered is being ok with people dying. DYING.  The kids wind die by staying gone for a while. Shane on you.[/quote]

Oh, can it. Karen screeching on DCUM from her isolated mansion (while undoubtedly refusing to pay her housekeeper)  saves literally no lives. [/quote]

This post is so crazy. Karen isn’t the one who’s going to suffer here. Even if the schools stay open, and everyone in Karen’s immediate family gets sick, they’re all in the lowest risk category. They’ll get sick, complain incessantly about how awful it is, but will be back on their feet in a month, having lost no wages and no jobs, but bummed that the trip to Paris they’d planned for this Spring Break was ruined.

Her housekeeper? Not so lucky. Has pre-diabetes and uncontrolled high blood pressure. When she presents at the ER after they’re overrun, she will be assessed as lower priority for care. When she dies, her family will be left without their mother and their main breadwinner, in a horrible financial situation and without their main financial and emotional support.

So, maybe, just maybe, Karen believes in science and knows she’s likely going to be just fine, but is terrified for OTHERS who will not fare so well.
