The way the email from the school division sounds they’ll be out for a while or till September possibly. I guess my wife gets to be a teacher again ................ without the pay and benefits though 😉

Same here. Wife is currently looking for resources to homeschool.

There's no way this opens back up in time to finish the school year. They previously told us that the reason they weren't closing was because it would have to be at least until the end of the year...

You can run but you can’t hide! most of us will contract this virus sooner or later, all these measures at best will slow transmission and not overwhelm the health care system. In the mean time hopefully the economy at least is recognizable on the other end of this.

There is a theory floating around that some in this country had this virus last November before it had been identified as covid 19. New of some that were down with illness for a month and symptomatic of the virus. All fully recovered with time, rest and proper care.

That’s entirely possible. Around December our family had a nasty (way worse than normal) bug and the fevers were brutal in myself and my daughter.

Who knows?

I think it's a very good possibility that many people around here have had Covid throughout the winter and recovered. Now that symptoms are in the news they line up perfectly with what people suffered with.
