I would not think so since their school was closed.

 

But how should I know that the school was closed?

 

I didn't said that since they met in school every day the party was no extra risk. I said that if they met in school every day the party should mean no extra risk. I said that because I couldn't possible know if their school was closed or if the guests even went to the same school.

I guess we take it for granted that all the world should be aware that virtually all of the US closed schools quite a while ago due to the pandemic, and that EVERYONE has been asked to either stay at home and not socialize with others or take precautions such as wearing a mask and social distancing.

I'm not sure that every American know that that school was closed over two months ago.

Most or all of our schools were closed also. There were a few Neanderthals .

Okay,I still did not talk to Kapito.😀

Lenny, you have to remember that this is a discussion group, and sometimes people disagree. That does not mean it is personal, though I have to admit I sometimes forget that too. LOL

I stated that the Governor of California closed the schools in my initial reply to you.

But that was after I said that they might see each other in school every day. After you had told me that the schools were closed I have agreed that it was ignorant to have the party.

 

I didn't knew that California closed their schools before Italy until you told me that.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that not everyone in here lives in the USA. It would have been common knowledge to anyone in the USA. So you and Lenny should just let this go.

That is fine with me but she or he kept on saying essentially the same thing so I was trying to clarify.

To the topic,  when this (CV) is all over, I don't see why it would not be safe to travel.  Or at least as safe as it was before CV.

lbdubs, do you really think it will be all over? I'd love that but nothing that I've read leads me to think that.

The schools in Italy closed March 5 and that was very big news here. Noone said then that the schools in California were already closed so here it was not common knowledge.

 

I thought that it should be enough to write IF they met in school the party shouldn't be any extra risk but obviously that wasn't enough so I should have researched more first.

Personally, I believe it will be "over" the way the flu is "over" --- it's still there, but with vaccination, some herd immunity, and good testing, it will become a normal part of our environment.  Then we will be able to better protect ourselves and assess our risks.

If all those things ever happen, then yeah. A few years down the road. Hopefully.

Of course it will.  Will it be 100% eradicated?  Probably not.  Even the bubonic plague is still around today, but we don’t hide in fear from it because it is managed and treatable.  Sadly I don't think we are going to get things back to normal without more fatalities.  When things open up I will continue to exercise care because I am in the high risk category.  I expect it will be a while before things get back to normal, at least for those of us who need to be cautious.  What I don’t think we can accept is for the entire population to hide in caves until the risk is zero.  

 

Stay safe.

Related to you guy's discussion of school closures -- Our quarantine orders had special rules for pre-schools/day care facilities, which were allowed to remain open.  Basically groups of 11 or 12 children max (I think) and the groups had to stay the same.  In other words a child had to stay only with the same group of other children every day. .  I guess that is a pretty decent way to handle things with day care.

Thanks. I just get so annoyed that some people act like 'oh, yeah, I'd cruise tomorrow regardless of the risk.'

People just want to get back to what they enjoy.   When cruises open up again, it is their choice and good for them if that is what they want to do.

And good for those of us who don't want to try to travel safely with those people PS: You're helping me with this process and I thank you
