Should schools be closed?

20. I'm in NY state near Buffalo.

Our Governor Cuomo has shut down bars, restaurants and diners, theaters. Libraries, schools, Y's and other public places are closed. But grocery and some dept stores, like Walmart, remain open so people can get supplies.

With schools and everything else closed, kids are hanging out in groups, large and small, in the stores that are open. Others are racing each other on their bikes on sidewalks, or just walking around, arm in arm, in parking lots and sidewalks, chatting while their group presence blocks access to passersby. They are oblivious to people around them, which is the nature of youth. They need someone to drill it into them how unsafe that is.
