I think that it may be safer for the school districts to close for at least some period of time as it seems that the virus will continue to spread and even though students may have a lower chance of the ill-effects of the virus they can unintentionally bring the virus home and infect their parents or older relatives who are more susceptible to the virus. In addition perhaps teachers can place both the gel disinfectant and tissues within their classrooms and inform their students to use them as there are not sinks or soap and water within classrooms.

@MountainViewResident: Think that you need to look at infection rates before making a call that kids are safer at home. Also need to think about impact on the community once thousands of parents need to figure out child care for thousands of kids for a period of time that could be weeks to months. May be easier for people with tech desk jobs to work from home but the contractor, the store manager, the restaurant worker... not so much. Start with something simple like how to pay for lunch for kids that are getting free meals at school now, and the health impact if they can’t be fed at home - they could be worse off if they have to stay home for an extended period. it gets complicated quickly and it’s not an easy decision...
