Strange times right now, huh?
I live in Maryland and our schools are shut down statewide due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
That means that since I’m a pediatrician, I’ve been peppered with questions from patients, family, and friends wondering what they’re going to do with the kids for at least two weeks (and, realistically, probably four or more).
They’re all asking about one thing—coronavirus and playdates.
When the world is shutting down to prevent the spread of a pandemic disease that risks infecting 40-70% of the human race in the next 12 months, can other families still come over to play?

I agree, however as long as day cares and dance studios (for example) are open, there will be parents who don't take personal responsibility for their children and business owners that care more about the money then community health safety. The children will still be out and about as if it couldn't happen to them or someone they know. God be with those with compromised immune systems.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a shame, parents will have to take care of their kids instead of letting the schools do it for them.
ReplyDeleteBut let's gather the needy kids twice a day for mass feeding.
ReplyDeleteThere are no needy kids their parents are getting food stamps to feed them but are just too lazy to cook!
