And this answers my question how?

Anyway unfortunately it turns out that i wasn' dreaming as Trump did indeed advise gatherings of no more than 10.

Bright, because Trump lied about the spread of COVID-19 and they're not testing enough to know.
Prove me wrong

How are the US handling school attendance? In Australia many schools are apparently preparing to go eLearning and deliver the curriculum remotely.

Some of our schools already have "insane" restrictions in place - cancelling assemblies, choirs band and sport practise etc. Staggering break times.

A few of the schools have run out of hand sanitizer. Unsure when more available.

The teachers that I'm in contact with (throughout Aust) are reporting about 80% attendance - so down a bit. I know of a few very remote schools where it is business as usual with a Mt Isa primary school principal claiming 93% attendance rates. School is 80% Indigenous and it operates a free bus service which collects students from their homes and all the kids are provided breakfast, morning tea and lunch. The principal says these initiatives are keeping his kids in school- ie these have been in place for 7 or 8 years, built up from 36% attendance to now a 93% average!

And since the kids have been in school and learning the entire school is now above national average on NAPLAN testing.

Tom Calma is relaying similar reports about his FNQ schools.

True martin. . I can't prove anything there is so much info and mis information flyng aroound and regulations changing quickly.

Pretty obvious tho that numbers publicized of those affected in all countries are much less than the actual.

What can never be known are the asymptotic people that are happily spreading the virus without the slightest clue.
The fact that we went from only people coming into the country having it to suddenly having hundreds of cases and it's difficult to get tested here because you have to have traveled or direct contact with a confirmed case

It should have been under 8 IQ to keep the gun nutters queueing up for firearms.
