Yes. They Are That Stupid - COVID 19

The governor of Kentucky has closed the primary and secondary schools for 2 weeks due to the Corona virus. A laudable effort to avoid the spread of this disease. Kentucky may only have 11 cases to date, but we are taking speedy action to do what the governor calls, "social distancing". It basically means, let's stop the large crowds until we sort this thing out.

The schools have responded by claiming that school is the only time that many of their children get meals. If you ask what happened to the food stamps their parents get for them, the schools will quickly respond that the parents sold those for drugs long ago and the schools are the children's only hope to eat, but that is a topic for another post.

Bearing in mind that the schools now consider themselves to be combination food pantry/day care/education establishments, and education came last for a reason, the schools have responded by finding ways to keep the children fed.

The Mason county school district is opening their schools for breakfast and lunch. No classes of course, that would risk spreading the disease, but breakfast and lunch are, for some reason, not a time that someone can get infected with COVID -19. Of course, there is also the fact that if the school thinks the parents are going to pick up the children between breakfast and lunch, then they have been smoking something.

The Clinton county schools have decided to avoid this by having the teachers come in and go door to door delivering food to the students. This avoids the problems of large crowds, because everyone knows that viruses do not spread person to person, but wait until a certain number of people are present in order to strike.

I haven't seen what other school districts are doing, but I'm sure it is equally intelligent.
