All schools in VA closed 2 weeks, Wolf probably needs to do that soon in PA.

It's tough because so many students rely on school for shelter, safety and food. A lot of kids in the phila SD live with grandparents. It's a mess

It’s probably just a matter of time. I think there are close to double-digit states now that have closed schools statewide.

Plus parents then have to stay home, which is especially hard (if not impossible) for hourly workers and/or those with no paid sick leave.

I agree with CNN, they said at this point the tests don't matter as much and you really just need to assume it's active in your area and approach it that way.

Got some more info...30 day lockdown and yes, unfortunately martial law is being considered.

Caveat: internet rumors

However, this feels like a "where there is smoke, there is fire" siuation. We will know one way or the other at 3:00.

Trump cannot speak in whole sentences. IMpossible to understand what he is saying here.

I agree with the first part, but disagree with the second. He's rambling, but it is comprehensible so far. Granting additional authority to Sec. Azar and hospitals to help keep the strain on inpatient hospitals low, increasing the testing capacity (which should have been done a long time ago), increasing drive-thru testing capacity...

It makes sense even if he can't speak in full sentences.
