Corona virus

I work in a school doing childcare. Yesterday, we got a notice, while at work, that school would be closed today as a staff memember tested positive for the corona virus. One of the women I work with found something about a HS student in our district that came home from Spain on Saturday & was sick with it on Sunday. I found out that the school where I used to work, someone is sick with it & that they were cleaning the school. I just got a text saying school is closed tomorrow as well. I hope whoever is sick is okay. I'm also worried as teachers can go from school to school, a lot of kids have been out sick, & when they're getting sick, they hang all over you, which is how I got the flu (even with the shot). I also have asthma & right now a bad cold & everything winds up in my chest sooner or later. *has been sick a few times with a bad chest cold as well as spending a few days in the hospital from it* Please WASH YOUR HANDS as much as possible & DON'T TOUCH YOUR FACE if your hands aren't that clean. Everyone take care & treat this like the pandemic it is turning out to be! If you're sick, stay home! It might be a cold, but your immune system is fighting that off, why give it something else, which is deadly, on top of it?! Also avoid crowded areas. G-d will forgive you if don't go to services! You don't need that super awesome whatsit that's on sale at the mall! Be smart & be safe!!

*huggles* You’re welcome! Yay! It’s good that they’ve closed the schools again. The schools out here don’t seem to close for anything.
:D

*even more huggles* Yeah. They normally try not to, so this is really big that they did! The only other time they did something like this was when hurricane Sandy hit & half the town had no power.
:D

*tons of huggles* It’s Spring Break this coming week, so we’ll see what they do after that. People need to stop hoarding toilet paper ASAP, though. There’s not a roll to be found in any store.
:D
