Well the Gov of Ky is going to get every penny of the Fed money he can. They shut down the ENTIRE school system effective Monday. Classes cancelled thru april 10 !!!! PEOPLE WE HAVE 4 YES FOUR cases in the entire state !!!!!!!!! WE had 5 cases but the first one has been cleared and resting at home. OH yea only one was admitted to the hospital.
They are closing county schools that are hundreds of miles away from any of the cases !!!!! BUT fed money is free !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLUS he is a democrat spewing the koolaid everywhere

To the state .................

We're waiting here in Indiana for the word. I'm a custodian , but I think they're making a mountain out of a mole hill. People aren't dropping dead like in 1918.

Starting to close here too. I guess if it does spread that easily just keep em at home for couple weeks and let this cycle out.
If I was over 60 and had health issues I'd be cautious as heck right now but otherwise feels like just need to practice good hygiene and get the kids outside like we normally do to let fly get out of the cycle.

Daddy taught him how to play the game well, didn't he?

Michigan just closed also.

This is a common sense step and by next week most states will follow suit. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of the public aren't smart enough to understand why. Which is precisely the reason why.

Yup. They shut us down for the next 3 weeks. Hard for parents to continue working when kids can't go to school or daycare. We're trying to figure out how we're going to make this work.....

That's going to be hard to figure out what to do with the kids. Put them in a daycare, that's the same as school germs, any daycare will be full and not able to take anyone. Plus expensive! Or have one parent stay home and no pay. Its going to hurt a lot of families. My wife stays home so if our schools shut down we will be ok.

Ohio shut down for three weeks, it's a good thing. Plus our Gov banned all gatherings of 100 people or more. Weird as heck but good.

Our daughters daycare is closing too.

I think Michigan are for three week, but spring brake is in there some place.

I literally just got the message here in a Brown Co. Our spring break starts Monday and then they are gonna start with 10 of the 20 days allowed after that just to be safe. Thankfully I’m a SAHM so it’s not too big of a deal, except maybe my sanity!!! Lol.
Prayers for all who have to find other care solutions or have to take an income hit.
And also for everyones health!

My kids get screwed. We homeschool they will get no days off. Unless I take them fishing.

Yes we aren't as smart as you northern fellows. Fear and disruption!! Still not going to beat Trump !! If there was ONE just one case near us and people where dying like flies then yes shut down and cower in fear . But I have several nursing friends and they say they have seen several cases of the same symptoms since November.!!! BUt because it hadn't been radicalized by the news media the patients were treated as if it was bronchitis !!!!

OH yea NEWS FLASH EVEN when a patient test positive for corona THEY ARE STILL treated as if it was bronchitis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems that school closures prompt the run on food.

Its like when they predict a snow storm. We all have to run out for beer, milk, tp and bread. Plus fill up the gas in your car. Might get snowed in for half a day.

There goes 1/3 of their summer... days will be made up I'm assuming.

Schools in the next county over from us just announced they're closing for a month, without a positive case of Covid-19 as far as I know. Only a matter of time until our county closes, too. Luckily I work from home so keeping an eye on my 5 y.o. daughter won't be a problem, but I feel for the families with parents that dont work from home with no contingency plan for a month of childcare.

Although I don't see the need to panic like I seen today out and about, it is the smart thing to do in being sequestered. It has nothing to do with if you have active cases, it's about limiting the chances that you do get them. When you go night fishin in the summer do ya wanna take your chances with the skeeters, or spray on some Off?

I'm sure most people in KY are smart enough to understand. You aren't.
