That means those parents will either have to stay home from work or arrange child care for the littles.

Oh, parents have to arrange for child care and that’s a problem?

Stop the planes, then. Should have happened two weeks ago.

Don’t do that, I know you’re just kidding around (not YOU, BA).

A little good news. From the beginning Dr. Gottlieb has been pushing the FDA to fast track public and private testing capability independent of the CDC.

Scott Gottlieb, MD

NEW: FDA’s device center is taking significant steps to expand U.S. testing capacity by establishing efficient EUA path, rolling reviews for public health labs to offer lab developed tests to detect #COVID19. This is major step reflecting superb leadership by Jeff Shuren and team

Depends on the age of the children, the area, etc. Please don't make broad-brush statements.

And Abe's request - is just that - a request. Prefectures will need to decide if they will comply and to what extent if they do.

Here is what CNBC has as a headline at https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/27/coronavirus-latest-updates-outbreak.html

"Japan to close all schools"

but here is what is said in the article down further:

"Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Thursday the government will ask (emphasis added) all elementary, junior high and high schools to close from March 2 through to spring break."
