Comment on Whitmer: Michigan closing all K-12 school buildings

Comments

If anyone is struggling with being an involuntary homeschooler (especially if you are WFH and doing childcare at the same time), please reach out. I’m trying to compile resources to help

And if you don’t have kids but want to help out, hit me up

Yup, I'm in Kirkland where it hit first in US. My sister in Cincinnati was asking for advice on what things to stock up on. I said "nannies".

Fact is, everything is slowing down because everyone is in the same boat. It seems like an unsurmountable problem at first, but after a few days of everyone recognizing it's for the long haul, you quit worrying about it.

That said I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg and we'll look back and wonder how we worried about such petty things.

This is going to hit small businesses hard because they can't just stop hibernate for a while and survive. IDK what they'll do. I have a feeling this recognition will hit and we'll realize how deep the economic dire straits we really are in the next few days. And that's before we even start talking about the medical part.
