No, the government closes schools 

Private schools work on their own thing I think. Metro is closed by state or county govt. I think.

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.

okay ALSO like idk how but somehow the area around me does not have any infected people (lets say... maybe 10 miles?) but school is most likely going to be closed for at least one day for cleaning but so many things are being canceled its insane. our school does a disney trip every three years, and if my boston trip was cancelled, then disney has a high chance of being cancelled. school around the COUNTRY and closing and shutting down classes, and many social gatherings are just not happening.

in addition my science teacher (WHICH I HATE) started talking about coronavirus and the flu, and he brings up a good point. the flu happens every year, and alos kills many people, like the elderly or young children, but many people dont know that. they hear coronavirus on the news and go into panic mode. yes, i get that coronavirus is something new and something that should be taken seriously, but i dont see a reason to panic. 

my dad stocked up on cup noodles, pasta, bounty, anything you can think of. costco is limiting items. bjs is running out of items. even if the state of new york is put into lockdown, we should be fine. the mortality rate for the coronavirus is not too high, the the people that should be worrying more are those with medical condidtions and the elderly. 

wow thats a rant but anyways: stay calm, dont panic, and treat it like the flu

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.

As an American who likes history, I'm kinda mad that the founders of that strange system didn't make yards to a mile 1776. 16 off and so much easier to remember lol.

oh we're metric for everything else, the only other thing I can think of is that we weigh things in stone, pounds and ounces for most things (for like, sciencey things we use g and kg)

Fffff! 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

[Spacestar TheThundersuncat]

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.

That’s terrible

I really hope my grandparents and my low-immunity extended family are doing well. 

Also. TOM HANKS. NOOO
