The closing of schools and all public gatherings is the only thing that flattens the curve, and therefore lives.
But nearly everyone will eventually get this virus.
The closing of schools
I was watching a UK presser, they will not be closing schools because while kids do get infected, they dont get too sick and parents need to work. I expect US to follow suit.
However, all our politicians will pull their kids out of school and all private schools will close.
