Foghorn was Fritz, not Henry.
But yes, schools will be closed for 2 weeks.
Does me no good. Staff will have to show up anyway. We've already been told that.
It’s almost like watching a movie.
Apparently this was leaked and will be talked about at 4. My wife is a teacher and nothing has been confirmed for her yet. What a shit show.
If you give 10 people a bag of gold, someone will complain about how heavy it is!
Henry is Foghorn Leghorn.
Legitimate question. How is it like dumb and dumber?
Right now the mortality rate amongst those 75+ and/or with underlying health issues is anywhere from 15-20%. That’s somewhere between 1 in 5 and 1 in 7 individuals who get it in that category will die and the vast majority in that age group who get it will more than likely require hospitalization if they are going to survive.
Most people under 20 are either very mildly symptomatic to asymptomatic, making them prime candidates to transmit the virus to a crapton of people. Where do kids spread germs like crazy? At school, and there is no way to track who has it and who doesn’t. Simplest fix? Keep them out of school. Is that going to be easy for a lot of people? No, but if you have people you care about in the categories I mentioned above, you should be taking this stuff seriously. Crazy to think that what may seem like allergies to us younger folk has a decent chance of killing old people.
here is some simple math:
S.C. estimated current population: 5,100,000
% Over Age of 65: 17.7% or 902,000
Let’s say 40% of them get the virus: 361,000
To trim it back, let’s say, 3% mortality rate for 65+: 10,000 people die, thousands more will need hospitalization.
Sprinkle in some random young people, decent chance of a few SCducks members dying (based on having 14,000 members)
I hope and pray that I am completely wrong and will HAPPILY eat crow if I am. But if the numbers can be decreased by taking two weeks off from school, why not try? As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right?

You can add.
I'm glad you pointed this out.
I've been saying since last week that if we on the front lines were gonna hunker down it does no good to have school and those kids coming in contact with the employees who are taking all sorts of precautions at work.
This is for the best. We can beat this. We all need to get on the same page to do it. Other wise once it hits it will be too late. This isn't gonna trickle in it will hit like a wave if we don't get in front of it. If we can control the isolated cases we will all laugh around Christmas when all the new borns come into the world, but if we don't we will be at a ton of funerals come first middle of Turkey season!
Yup, he's crazy...
like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.
Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

Governor said no utilities will be shut off, so if I have electric and water...………………..food can be had.
fresh fish, deer, shrimp, clams and oysters if things get real bad
eyeballing cattle right around the corner
I got a generator new in box that can be had if anybody needs one
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
Given that the elderly are more susceptible to dying from the virus, and that most working adults will still have to work...
I would imagine many families will turn to grandmothers and elderly family members to look after children in the absence of school (daycare).
Wouldn’t that put elderly folks in more danger, being around potentially exposed children?
Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.
I think We will all get a two week vacation before it's over.
