If the majority of infections source to medical providers and workers in care centers, then that implies that the radical efforts to curtal social contact will have little bearing on controlling the disease

Been thinking if schools were kept open and we didn't know about Covid-19

Instead of voting down, how about providing an answer to the question?

The kids would have spread to the adults in the school at higher rates

What impact on R0 is social distancing having?

Have you heard the study that recommended keeping kids IN school?

No, I havent seen a study saying kids dont get the virus.

Experts are rethinking this, actually.

Please link any proof that experts are rethinking that school closures hasn’t

CDC report states that school closures do not impact spread of virus

Rooney

It specifically mentions it makes a difference once you have community spread

Charles Darwin

Still don’t see any reports of states regretting their decision to close

CodeBlueCoug

What states are rethinking this? And why don’t they just open schools back up

The question itself makes zero sense.

Many think that is exactly what happened because their cousin was sick in Jan.

Charles Darwin

Because nobody ever gets the flu or a bad cold in January.

I'm convinced there are some people who will not take this seriously

Your numbers are off

No, those numbers don’t fit your beliefs. The power of And vs Or is important

This doesn't change the fact that those with severe symptoms are many.

You're optimistic. I expect another one well before afternoon.

Closing schools was one of the most common sense measures to slow the spread. They’re a hotbed for passing

Exactly, this is how the flu season doesn’t extend or get worse. Fauci or that

Anecdotally, but the point remains.

See any footage in the Italian hospitals? New York? We would have noticed.

dave

NYC is proof enough that this is a ridiculous idea.

Not if the outbreak is from the self quarantine.

coug almighty

3/29/20 9:16am

What does this even mean? The quarantined are spreading this somehow?

dave

3/29/20 9:24am

What if the virus is spread by not coming into contact with other people,

Are you one of those guys convinced you had Covid19 last November?

But I did. I had a really bad cough and fever. I know it was COVID19. 😂😂😂
