Coronavirus: Attending school might actually be safer than staying at home

[TerrexLee]

Following the escalation of the Covid-19 crisis, schools have been regularly disinfecting their premises; some have even implemented 'wipe-down' exercises where students are provided with cleaning equipment to disinfect and clean up after themselves. Additional measures undertaken include holding regular temperature checking sessions (in the morning and before commencement of CCA sessions), practicing social distancing and suspending large scale events. External vendors invited to schools must also pursue apt hygiene practices and bring along their own sanitizers.

In short, attending school might therefore actually be safer than staying at home for a lot of households. (You may personally feel that your house is much safer. Perhaps, and I'll give you that. But you need to realize that this isn't the case for everyone.)

Other food for thought:

Assume the authorities went ahead with shutting schools completely. My question is: So how long should they do so? 2 weeks? 1 month? If you have tuned in to the Prime Minister's latest speech, he has already remarked it is possible for the situation to last up to a year.

Dumbfucks to believe such.

They told you because school resumes, kids spend less time to infect seniors and parents.
When they go home, they still meet seniors after school right? No logic

When kids take bus and train to school, got 1-meter apart? Talk cock ok?
Then in school, Kids cross-infect each other with chest infections and then go home and pass to seniors and parents.

Go school, take public transport without masks is a bigger threat to public health.

FUCK MAN, our country really brainwashed until no common sense.

Trusting the Piss and Poop is akin to trusting a crocodile claiming to be a vegetarian.

Kids do not get sick if infected by this puny virus.
It's their grandma and grandpa's that are most at risk. So the grandparents must be quarantined and live separately for maybe one month until every youngsters are infected and immune and virus destroyed. Then it is safe to hold your grandparents again.

Wear masks when going school on Monday. Protect your kids and protects other kids.

Many families with kids are completely wiped out in Wuhan....It will definitely hit children but the probability is much lower than old folks. They may be infected but not affected and become carriers instead and spread the virus to their parents and grandparents at home. Don't downplay the virus just to make yourself feel better.

This is why every country's immediate reaction is to shut down schools first. This is also happening in UK and US now.

Some governments have the foresight to see the far-reaching consequences of this crisis, while some, like the fucking Piss and Poop, only see short-term gains and will do anything to downplay the gravity of the situation.

What kind of flyblown bullshit is this? The website / person who wrote this ought to be castigated and driven completely from the face of the earth!

The article's author is too stupid even to be IB. Just some nutcase with low EQ

I actually like the part in bold. Will allow the students to have empathy for their maids.
