<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 4246675, member: 27832&quot;]Schools in our county will be closed from Monday onward (and starting &quot;distance learning&quot; the following week), but the much larger and more populous county next door is keeping schools open. We&#039;re basically one big metro area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill), with a lot of suburban and rural territory included in the counties. We&#039;ve had a number of cases already, but no confirmed instances of community spread. Realistically, that <i>must</i> already be happening -- but with some folks never showing symptoms, and <b>no widespread testing</b>, it&#039;s not surprising that we aren&#039;t &quot;confirming&quot; it yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Our state university system is also switching over to home study. So my wife has &quot;reverse empty-nest&quot; syndrome; suddenly, we&#039;re back to having two kids in the house, all day, every day. I&#039;m still expected to take my laptop to a desk at work every day and sit <i>there</i> typing instead of sitting <i>here at home</i> typing. Our company is already getting some bad press in its home country for this policy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
