There's plenty to worry about with Coronavirus. Schools are not especially high on the list.

1. Maintain optics for those who want them to #DoSomething. Reelections are a bitch.
2. Protect teachers, administrators and other staff.
3. Protect the families of those kids who could potentially get infected.
The kids are going to be fine. In fact closing the schools cuts off a lot of kids from lunches and other services. It's almost assuredly worse for the kids to not have school right now.
This isn't being done to protect children. Not by anyone who cares about the science anyway. -

I guess my twitter app is broken, because I looked on the website and the newest follows are completely different than what it said for me. But he's going to Texas.CallMeBigErn said:

Twitter mobile shows mutual follows first, so you probably saw Lake and other UW football accounts at the top. The desktop version of twitter still shows most recent followsjhfstyle24 said:

Not going to lie! When I saw B4L I thought it was for Built for Life. But its brothers for life -
damn it looks like LSU, Oregon, and Texas were the final three. No mention of UW in the commitment video

as much as I hate this staff... I thought Lake would at least have us in the top 3.Tequilla said:

Don’t worry guys, this is the season of the decommitment. All is going according to plan.

It’s true. Just a bunch of burnt orange, bright red, frog purple, and rape green hats in these parts.Motrboatnsob said:Can’t find UW hats at gas stations down there
Oh, and a fuck ton of cowboy hats. -
This was probably a part of the reasoning early on but it seems to be that this isn't actually true. Kids don't spread the disease.theknowledge said:
I'm thinking the schools are closed due to the fact that kids are the cute and lovable Typhoid Maries of the virus. They are less sanitary than adults and the "at risk" grandparents of the little carriers just can't keep their hands off their infected progeny. If the kids aren't at school giving it to each other, then maybe the community can stem the tide of the young and strong infecting the old and sick.dnc said:
I hope you are correct.1to392831weretaken said:
That's pretty cynical, but maybe you're right. I like to think that--especially at the local level, where school superintendents are members of the community and actually care--those second reasons are major drivers.dnc said:
Fair enough, but the first bullet point is the primary reason they are closing. It's the primary reason everything is closing. Everyone is in CYA mode.1to392831weretaken said:
You list two bullet points that are absolutely supported by the science and then say that the school closures aren't supported by the science. Confused...dnc said:

@LoneStarDawg's chinfo on T-Cells seems like a pretty good explanation for this phenomenon.
