[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I said a week ago was too early to close schools, but I think now and next week is the right time. There are cases and some local transmission. [b]It’s a good time to start closing things.

I think Fairfax and Arlington will close next week. [/quote]

I thought a good time was before viruses start to spread widely, based on history and other countries' experience?[/quote]

I'm not convinced it has spread widely yet.  When it had spread widely in Italy, the hospitals were overwhelmed.  I have not heard any reports of hospitals being overwhelmed here, and outside of nursing homes, few American fatalities.  So if it is widespread, the reaction is not so bad.

So instead of wringing your hands that this should have been done weeks ago, be grateful that we are in fact catching it in time.  Can't win with some of you.[/quote]

You want to see the hospitals overwhelmed? Are you insane? That’s what we are trying to avoid![/quote]

JFC- schools are being closed here before the hospitals are being overwhelmed, you idiot.

Although like someone else said, now instead of hanging out with other kids, many kids will be hanging out with their grandparents instead.  But I guess that's what you wanted![/quote]

I’m the idiot? You’re the one saying “I’m not convinced it has spread widely yet”. This is an effing PANDEMIC. Do you know what that means??[/quote]
