So dose this mean no school?
Every school day is a large student and staff event. Who are these 'public health officials' saying it's appropriate to remain open? Many lives are being endangered. Close the schools!
Would this be a good time for the handshakers to stop shaking hands?
So back to street drifting, everyone...
Why not just do the inevitable before it spreads...
