No, they are acting prudent, my wife is a teacher, one of her co-workers has the virus, they have closed the school for two weeks. Do you feel they should force the school to expose your child to the virus? Here at TCU I understand they are going to do the rest of the semester all on line.

As is UCLA and I’m sure most other universities.

And wisely so.

I was assuming in my scenario that there was NO evidence of anyone with coronavirus on campus at the time of the shutdown.

And doing instruction on line is not necessarily feasible in all cases. Plus, it deprives the student of the unique quality of the on-campus experience.

do you really think the kids will be in their homes the entire time? NO, mom will bring them out to the mall, stores, whatever is open.

Not a good argument.

I have tickets for the opening weekend at Keeneland three weeks from now. They announced that they will run the races without spectators. Do you really think they should keep the money I paid for my tickets?

“one of her co-workers has the virus”

How is the virus affecting the co-worker?

Who’s forcing anyone? If someone is that concerned they can voluntarily take their “child” out of school.
