Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3614758, member: 73"] Its a crazy virus. The virus kills a large percentage of people over 60 but very few under the age of 30. Add to that that the flu kills more people under 30 and is also very contagious. There is a flu vaccaine but as many of us know there are many different kinds of flu and the vaccine doesnt work 100%. I do beleive we have to find a way to get the kids back to school and adults back to work. Working from home works for many but still kids need to grow and mature and not going to school does not accomplish that. With that said kids need to be safe. IMO get the kids back to school IF the virus truly is not as contagious as we origionally thought. If it is a small risk that the kids get it then it is no more contagious then the flu. [ ] So I would think that by having the kids back in college away from their parents would be less of a risk of the parents contacting the virus from their kids. The parents could be more safe. If the kids contact the virus in college then they will be treated and released. The question is can the kids tranmit it to their friends like the flu? If its not a matter of everybody dying then I say start school. Kids get sick all the time. Kids get the flu. If for kids this is no more dangerous then the flu then open classes. [/QUOTE]
