Well, the one time it did snow in Arizona they DID get snow days. So yeah if it snows. Also happened in To Kill A Mockingbird, they lived in Alabama I think. They have a lower requirement since their roads and vehicles aren't meant to be made for snow. Also less snowplows etc. They keep all that stuff in the north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because we have preventable options for the flu. And a cure. Those that die are usually immunocompromised or unvaccinated or to old to save. For coronavirus we have no cure or even vaccine. however those that do die from coronavirus are usually in the same category, but we also do have vaccines again, which means it still spreads easily and Karens and the braindead aren't the only ones spreading the virus. You should be cautious and take extra precaution but don't stress. Have faith in the thousands of doctors working around the clock to help us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston is the greatest. here in ma there are nearly 100 cases but none confirmed in our town except for some guy from another town who was quarantined in a hospital near my house and was recently released. We had school today, unsure about tomorrow or next week. The teachers are having a faculty meeting this afternoon to make a decision, but it will be a matter of when, not if. Fingers crossed that my introverted butt can sit at my house all day tomorrow...then I won’t have to take my math test 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacestar TheThundersuncat Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 About the % in the severe category. In a study, 31 of 32 elderly people died even under best care. A third had no prior medical conditions. I'm not sure if the UK doesn't want to actively kill people at this point. It is only seriously deadly for a small group, but I would miss my grandparents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
