Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

[Taosman]

Which are the advanced countries Taos?

I assume you're just being sarcastic. Cute.

Chicago sees deadliest Memorial Day weekend in 4 years. Somehow the media includes the pre-programmed stay at home/social distancing public service announcement in the article. As if to say, wait until you are allowed to go outside again, before you start killing one another!

No, I'm slow, and you know what happens when you assume. Please give me your list of amazing advanced countries. I need to know where to retire some day.

Swine flu can be more dangerous than Covid-19!

We were taking bets at work today when we thought schools would reopen and my bet was January while others thought a "hybrid" start when academic year begins.

I totally disagree.

Although school district vary in their first-day-of-school, I think schools will start opening in September provided the case and death rates continue to fall. As we slowly start opening back up socially, we still have all of June, July, and August to "herd immunize".

What about immuno-compromised staff or their spouses, pregnant staff etc....?

UT has already said they will be back on campus this fall but not return after thanksgiving....

It's going to be different in every state. My bet is ~45 of 50 states resume by Labor Day.

Maybe they can continue to wear masks or other PPE as necessary. COVID is here to stay, so eventually we're going to have to deal with it while returning back to pre-COVID activities.

I also think there will be a hybrid in September, our district is already considering options. Unless there is a dramatic spike, it will be back in some (probably impossible to manage with work schedules) capacity.

That’s a difficult one. I would suspect that they would be covered under some sort of regulation related to FMLA? If schools are back in session, I guess that the districts could suggest that presence in the classroom is a bonafide occupational qualification... but I also have to guess that there’s no way in hell the teachers’ unions would stand for it.

Were it up to me, I’d allow them to stay at home until it blows over.

Will parents have to sign off not suing schools should a kid get sick or even die? I guess the schools would want that.

I was thinking the other day that I haven’t seen/heard about any COVID lawsuits and wondering when those are actually going to start hitting.
