Universities across America are shutting down. Is K-12 far behind?

And cafeterias. So K-12 doesn't have *quite* the same issues, though of course kids are messy anyway.

Also it's a large concentration of kids that the school's somehow responsible for. Better to disperse them.

And there's also the issue of having all the kids there, sick, needing care even if they're not in a hospital. With the inevitably large group that will resist medical attention until they need serious intervention. Send them home, if you can, and it's better. Their education's dinged, but that's about all. And at good schools, where the kids actually *want* to learn, that won't be so bad in many fields, even long distance.

With K-12, it's really a daycare issue and for many, diet. Yes, their education is also dinged, but even during the Harvey aftermath in Houston schools opened just to provide free meals to the poor. As for their education, many don't really want to learn even when present, so it'll just be extended vacation for those. Or, since a lot of those really value having as much time earning $10/hr as possible, extended "workation."

The campus is still open. Cafeterias are open. The only thing shut down are classes.
