Yet all those who are aware of the dangers seem just fine in telling me and my kids to go about our days as if there is nothing going on.
They tell me to send my kids to school because they will teach them to wash their hands.They say to send them because it would interfere with my job.
I taught my kids to wash well when they were babies.I cant find a job in this wretched economy so my job is to be here for my kids. I am just a mommy but imo,the best thing for me to do is to stop believing their lies that this is a mild disease and the kids are better off in school.I won’t let my babies be a part of the collateral damages that seem to be acceptable to them.
Close the schools until a vaccine is given and  studies prove the kids have immunity.Let them make it up later.Just one moms opinion
