That one person must have done a lot of travelling from school to school in order to justify a closure of this magnitude. Or it could be that the Fulton County school board is run by nitwits. Fulton County is where Atlanta is. You decide.
The disease is communicable while asymptomatic. Anyone with it, and in close contact with a lot of people (who in turn are in close contact with a lot of people, recursively), has likely spread it significantly.
Children apparently are largely unaffected, but older adults they come in contact with are then put at risk.
Do the math, and good chance we’ll se a bunch of deaths in the area soon.
I’m just a couple counties away. Expecting our schools will be closed soon.
