If Seattle leaders are recommending events with more than 10 people be canceled, and that workers telecommute, why is it that schools are still open? Makes no sense.
Any idea, @ByMikeBaker @KYWeise?https://twitter.com/ByMikeBaker/status/1235330485041192966 …

They also said that they "can't close schools forever" so seemed to be cautious about doing so too early. This was all via King County public health at the presser today.
Thanks for the info. Straw man alert: no one is asking schools to "close forever." Japan's primary schools are closed for a month, not "forever." They act as if teenagers won't do what's good for society if asked to. I mean, I normally go to work, but now will be telecommuting.

Re health care workers being at home and older people watching children, the studies I've read show that closing schools still *saves* lives.

Here is a super conservative estimate: Take a school with 500 kids. Assume 800 parents. 10 touch point per parent per day. That is 8000 touch points per day! When the officials say “avoid crowds”, that constitutes a crowd from a risk perspective. a significant one!
