'Sacrificial lambs': Teachers plead for coronavirus shutdown
https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/sacrificial-lambs-teachers-plead-for-coronavirus-shutdown-20200319-p54bui.htmlI think the school children's hands do not need much cleaning, but the heads of the Victorian Education Minister James Merlino, Chief Health Officers, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, and Prime Minister Scott Morrison's do, and require proper sanitization as well.
These are real stubborn mules, much worse than the UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson who was a staunch believer of Herd Immunity concept, but eventually came to his senses to close all schools.
The reason the number of infected children in China, including school students, was small is due the prompt action taken to lock down the cities, that resulted in school closure.
It is commonsense that cannot get through the thick skulls of the people mentioned above. The school closure minimises the coronavirus spread!
Almost all children are shorter than adults, and even at close contact, they are not at the height level to "catch" or inhale the droplets of saliva that might contain the virus expel from the adults.
I strongly believe that all schools must be shut down immediately. For goodness sake, do not repeat the debacle of the Grand Prix cancellation.
Thank you for reading.
