The problem is going to hit the travel industry and restaurant industry hard.

Many school systems may have to close down, and less to protect the children, who would only get a mild to severe “cold”, than to protect their older relatives.

In the “real” world NOBODY is talking about this at all.

Mild or severe, they’re still gonna have to give up at least two weeks of their life for it, if they get it. They’ll be able to spread the virus for at least 2 weeks, feeling sick or not - so quarantine it is.

The customer that just came in to pay his monthly bill told me he and his wife decided to cancel their trip to Vegas later this month. I was just telling him if it goes on much longer it’s going to impact the economy.

My HS Senior daughter has a colleague in JROTC who has been sick for over a month. She was out for a week with flu-like symptoms, then came back (because the parents wanted her in school), and hasn’t gotten any better. They were taking her for a CV test today...supposedly. I wouldn’t even begin to know where to get one, the damned thing is brand new (about a week old). I wouldn’t allow my kid in school if she was that sick, and would have already brought her to at least a dozen docs and hospitals to see WTF was going on. Teens just don’t get sick for that long.

Meanwhile, something like 3,400 kids go to that school. If she has it, then 3.400 families are going to be PISSED, and incredibly inconvenienced when the school is shut down.
