Students are in the age group in which this virus is less serious than the common flu.
Not just students there are parents still paying on student loans. Health care providers, Nurses, CNA’s, Doctor’s, etc. In Michigan they just cancelled school for 3 weeks. Parents who work now have to find childcare or stay home; this will affect Nurses, health care workers, labs, Xrays techs, etc. Not to mention financial hit to pay for daycare.
