Childcare is going to be problematic. If the schools close the childcare centres are likely to shut too.

Exactly that. And Hockey Canada just shut down all activities until further notice. You know shit is serious when Canada shuts down ALL hockey.
The idea is to slow the spread so the health care system can keep up.
Yeah, the major issue for nurses with kids is that if your kids are home and there is nobody to watch over them, you have to stay home.
Gatherings of more than 500 people to be cancelled amid coronavirus fears
The Prime Minister and state and territory leaders want all non-essential gatherings of more than 500 people to be suspended from Monday amid fears about the spread of coronavirus.

UK not closing schools as "The scientific advice is that this could do more harm than good at this time..."
Tell you what, I'd love to see the scientific research that says postponing daily gatherings of in some schools many thousands of individuals would increase the virus transmission rate
Suspending large public gatherings has also been shied away from at this point. They went on to say "The scientific advice is this has little effect on the spread - but it does place a burden on other public services" however I am not sure how this equates to delaying the spread of a contagion until it can be contained and combated in summer months?
I'm just a layman here, anyone got any ideas what the plan is there?

Kids have very low infection rates, but each child has at least one career - a portion of whom will be in the health sector.
If kids can’t go to school, and childcare is closed, parents can’t work. That means any doctors, nurses, researchers with kids are no longer available to support.

Interesting, I suppose that's why experts are consulted.
Strangely, I have seen all the flat-earther/anti-vaxers I know hailing this scientific advice as perfection... not sure if that's a good or a bad thing considering their track record on listening to scientific advice and evidence
Interesting graph i found

I was talking with someone about this last night, and heres my take. Walt disney world and universal closed near me, and im assuming most other tourist attractions in tampa and orlando have closed as well. Thats a lot of people out of work, a lot of tourists stuck with nothing to do, and with spring break going on, a lot of kids already here or our of school looking for things to do. Im sure local sports and other events are being cancelled as well. If you take people out of work and school and keep them from any form of entertainment, theyre likely to all go to all the other places people like to go, like restaurants and other places people run errands. (for me im thinking about when I go to the gym, where ive already gotten sick from other things) People will not stay home if they are bored and arent explicitly forced to. Its already on the news that college kids are taking advantage of the cheap flights and traveling wherever they can. What might sound like common sense may not be the best move so im willing to entertain the idea.

Nice graph! It seems like the nations with the best outcomes (so far) were either a) aggressive about testing as early as possible, b) aggressive about quarantining and isolating suspected patients as early as possible , or c) both.Interesting graph i found

Here in the US...not so much...
I kind of get it... you just can't trust people to do whats in their own best interests.
Its not like we are immune. Given the choice between drinking beer and eating a juicy steak or drinking water and eating Kale what would you choose?
No clue, it was the food that popped up on a google search of healthy foods. It looked green and unedible so I figured it was a good example.
Coronavirus: Why is the UK not shutting schools like other countries?
The government's top scientists are ploughing a different furrow to that of many other countries.

Well, that's pretty much as the responses on this thread put it... Who needs computer models when you have the knowledge of TESTies which knows no bounds!
I think you have fallen for a myth - I have never seen anything called "Kale" in any shop I have ever been in. I have not witnessed the thing known as "Celeriac" either.
No clue I'm staying with known good foods.
Kale baked in the oven until crispy, seasoned with some salt, is actually a pretty good snack.
While people raided the hand sanitizer and toilet paper at Costco today my Wife raided the alcohol section and managed 4 bottles of their Vodka. I need to get some emergency provisions on my way home in the form of Scotch and Whiskey.
The panic is humorous at best, definitely makes me wonder if life is better with average intelligence. Yeah we need to take this seriously, but it's not a panic worthy event. I want to thank all the people of "average intelligence" in Colorado who raided the shelves of toilet paper and bottled water, but left the medicine shelves virtually un-touched. To the cunt who took 40 bottles of hydrogen peroxide, I hope the cops stopped you from buying it all, we just wanted 2.

It really is actually! Must get some Kale on the way home after I get Scotch and Whiskey.
