Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 3538768, member: 1522"] I agree with you that it's silly to say school kids coming home was the reason for the high death toll in the tri-state area but he's right that schools are not the problem with spread of this disease... Dr. Anders Tegnell of Sweden has made no proclomations but the one thing he's sure of is that schools need to be open, everything they've been shown is schools are not a significant mode of spread at all, it's nothing like the flu in that regard. The one thing he's really upset by is they haven't done a good enough job of protecting people in nursing homes, half their deaths are over 85 years old. Almost no countries have done a good job of protecting nursing homes. [/QUOTE]
