That, I have no idea.
But it seems as if everyone has internet access these days, even if it's just over their phone. I'm obviously not familiar with how it's done in other states and metro areas but here, the teachers email all of the parents daily, if not twice a day. The Principle, coaches, Art directors, etc. are in constant touch with parents and I often email and text with school and district administrators, sometimes multiple times per day. Funny thing is I can barely remember my parents ever coming to my school when I was a kid, let alone being on a first name basis with admin and teachers or going with them to Disneyland, as we often do. |

Warm weather will slow this virus down but I'm sure the 2 week notice is just to get started. Will be extended as needed.

From my POV, I interact with about 6 people a day in a normal week. The same 6 people. On days off, I meet with two friends for dinner when I can in a small restaurant we've going to for years. Other than that, I see my gf when able, and take my mother to church and have dinner with her (she's been nursing a broken ankle so we haven't gone in a while, and probably won't for a few more weeks). Now if I was 20 something and spent my down time bar crawling, dating multitudes of women, etc. that would be different. Look, I never said or advocated the idea that we should go around as if this wasn't happening. I do think that eventually everyone is going to come into contact with this thing no matter what we do. But trying to slow its progress is naturally a good idea. My original point was that IMO, I don't think closing bars and restaurants is going to have a significant effect, because people will just congregate elsewhere to drink and socialize, have unprotected sex, etc. And there's not one thing I can do about that. What I'm not going to do is worry about that. If my friends want to meet up for dinner next week, I'm going. If my gf wants to hang out, I'm there. If my mother wants to go to church in a couple weeks, I might say "maybe we should wait another week or two," but if she insists, I'm taking her to church. She's a retired physician and a grown woman, and she can make her own much more informed decisions for herself. |
