Thanks for reminding me--have lately been wondering why husband and I had eyes wide open so early (watching Peter Robinson's interviews at the Hoover was a help)--and the Floyd parades with everyone jammed together. Our PA Governor wanted everyone to stay home, but he marched in parade. In fact (you are leading me to recollections) first schools were closed March 12--for two weeks. I conducted classes during that time, assured my students that we'd be back in school in two weeks. When we weren't and Gov Wolf shut the schools for the WHOLE rest of the year---there was no sense in that. If 'two weeks to flatten the curve', then making decisions as data and the situation became apparent would be logical. There was no logic in a complete academic shut-down. That was my first really scarlet flag, I think.
