    Not just schools are closed
    I have been laid off from work
    This weighs heavily on me and the people I support.
    This means I wont be able to buy food or pay rent.
    Please take care in these hard times

    While I am a citizen of the USA , I live in Georgia which last time I checked, contained about 6-10 cases, they recently decided to shut our school down as of March 17. I believe we our having our spring break during the closing so they believe we go back around the 13th of April. They aren't certain of the date but if they could guess that would be the date we go back. They want us to do online learning through google classroom, USAtestprep, and buzzmath I believe. With the state testing so close, they don't want to close our opportunity of getting a review for the test.

    So update from my school:
    Today 13 teachers were absent along with 502 students. The school then released information to parents at my school saying there was a partial closure for years 8,9 and 10. All other years are expected to go to school unless they have underlying health conditions or self isolating due to a family member or oneself having symptoms.

    As you can tell by the huge reduction in students at school today, as well as teachers, it would be silly and unethical to teach without a large number of people present.

    I have been put in self-isolation for 2 weeks for showing 2/3 main symptoms.
    I'm not AS worried because I'm feeling completely fine. I think it's the fact that this doesn't happen often so its the shock behind how extreme it must be. All my thoughts go to the people with losses and the people who are battling this disease. :heart:

    I think I heard in Norway, that schools & colleges/universities will be closed for 6 weeks, not sure.

    We got two people at school today sent home due to them having coronavirus. I honestly don’t understand why schools like mine in the UK haven’t closed for a couple of week a yet. It’s mind boggling to me.

    It’s just been announced that all schools in the UK are to close after this Friday, and our May and June exams are cancelled.

    For most, but not all, students...
    Anyone whose parent is an essential worker (NHS etc.), or who has an EHCP will still be able to attend school. I'm not sure how good the attendance among those students will be though, even after factoring in those who will be self-isolating.

    I'm not happy with how our government are still leaving us in the dark about exams. I'm in my final year before I leave for university, however, I need certain grades to get into the universities. If these exams don't happen, it's likely I probably won't get into university.
