Santa Clara county hasn’t closed schools yet, but are preparing for remote-learning should closures happen. If you’re a parent in Silicon Valley, then you’re probably aware from the district emails. From what I’ve parsed, it sounds like they’re going to make a decision based on recommendations of the County health board (though I’d think the school has autonomy on making the decision on their own if they chose to, but I don’t know).
- nerdface 7y agoFrom Santa Clara county's official statement: “The reason we are not recommending school closures at this time is because children have not been shown to be a high-risk group for serious illness from this virus.” https://files.constantcontact.com/82fe691f001/dc8c682d-3257-4ee1-90eb-4b322b30a445.pdf https://files.constantcontact.com/82fe691f001/dc8c682d-3257-...
- skhavari 7y agoWould be nice to see a statement on retransmission vs impact of infection. Seems shortsighted.
- electriclove 7y agoAnd the same statement says those 50 and over should basically stay home. I'm sure that a significant % of school staff fall into that grouping. In regards to the quote, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
- cronix 7y agoYeah, only the parents and grandparents who they then go home to.
