I have now the first probable case in my (further) environment: Young teacher (younger than me), has all the typical symptoms except fever, doesn't get a test.

Lives with flatmates. Luckily I could organise a friend (chemist) to send her some masks so maybe she can wear them to protect the others (if not too late)

Hi beneroth
<mtsd>
I am waiting to see if they decide to close the schools here
<beneroth>
schools are getting closed in multiple parts of Germany
<Regenaxer>
Here in Bavaria they close schools and kindergarten now
<mtsd>
Same in scandiavia. Except in Sweden, for some reason..
<beneroth>
I think borders might get closed within a few days all over in Europe. Maybe not. Lets see.
<beneroth>
mtsd, the reason is the thinking that grandparents would look after kids.
<beneroth>
scientist are also not sure about the best course here
<mtsd>
Right
<beneroth>
but a recent studies shows that school closing at the beginning of an epidemic would help a lot, as much infection goes via schools. because of that study many virologists just changed their opinion.
<beneroth>
though of course this is a bit late now..
<beneroth>
ah yes, and beside grandparents, of course all the mothers who work in the health systems....
<beneroth>
bbl
<mtsd>
