A coworker asked the other day: what's the end point on WFH and school closure?
I think it's a good question. In this specific case, for Northshore, have they specified? Is it some number of weeks, months, years? Is there some inflection point in the spread they've predetermined it will go back to normal?

At minimum, producing enough test kits so that we could actually test every hypochondriac with the sniffles. Since there's a mind-boggling shortage of test kits, reducing transmission rates for as long as possible is all that we can do.
- Tagbert 7y agoOne of the main reasons to do things like close schools and work from home is to slow the spread of the virus so that it doesn’t spike in large numbers. This helps prevent the health care and similar support systems from being overwhelmed. It is likely that many/most people will eventually get the virus but if that happens over a spread out timeframe there is a better chance of maintaining adequate health support.
