I think a lot of people in the US are concerned about health risks and the way social distancing policies are being put in place. We have still far from flattened the curve in this country - and there is a lot of new research showing that kids carry the disease as much as adults. As a teacher, this doesn't surprise me since little kid diseases always seem to affect us adults much worse than it does them.

I can't assume there will be much social distancing at school. My ex-wife has had the illness once but suffered no ill affects, slight cold for 2 days so it's possible the kids and I have had it although they isolated for 2 weeks with me around then. She works in a busy hospital. I have very little contact with anyone as a work from home dev.

Any contact with the grandparents is likely to be carefully controlled and they won't stay in our house. Things do seem to be improving now in Europe, but going downhill in American, good luck guys.
