[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if closing schools will stop the spread of this when there is no current case in a school. Plus, when kids are out of school, who will take care of them? parents, baby sitters, elderly grandparents, and who knows who else...and those are the ones who have been expose to others much more frequently than the existing kids at school. Those other adults are the ones you don't know where they have been over the weekend when they are not with your kids. At church, at the theater, hanging out and drinking, smoking with other people.

There was a WHO expert on BBC news saying this today. He said that there doesn't seem to be that much transmission among children in schools (unlike the flu), and when kids are out of school they're hanging around older relatives or else going out places on their own, which is not always good.

I think the reason we're not seeing the transmission in kids is because it isn't affecting them so they may be carrying it but they're not showing symptoms and therefore aren't getting tested.  I could be wrong, but I also think saying "kids don't get it so they can't transmit it" is dangerous.[/quote]

You are right. Also because the test is limited, no test prove does not mean no spread. Actually it spread faster than people can realize. I predict they will extend the break. [/quote]
