The school situation is the 'current worry'... do you send your child off into a possibly dangerous situation? My thought is that if there is a possibility of keeping them at home, do it - to be safe. They can do online classes and even if they get behind for a year - they can always catch up at a later date - whereas if they contact Covid-19, they may never catch up... and your family may never recover.
I realize that this is just my own opinion. And everyone must make their own choices. Some have little choice - especially if they have to work and have no one to care for their kids. I understand that.
But as important as education is, it's not more important than a child's life (or his parents if he should bring home the virus).
This is where I stand... and if you don't agree, that's fine. I'm happy to agree to disagree.

For those interested, our sister-in-law (83) who broke her leg and contacted the virus while in the hospital is doing well. She is back home in Houston and seems to be recovering from both situations.

On a sad note, our youngest grand daughter's cat just passed away. Cossette (cat) was old and it wasn't too unexpected... but still our grand daughter is taking it hard... since the cat has always been there throughout her life. (grand daughter is 7, cat was 15)

And have you sent out any letters or packages lately? Letters and/or packages sent by the USPS seem to be taking a very long time to get to their destinations. I'm guessing it's due to the fact that people are using delivery service more since they aren't getting out and about... and/or there are a shortage of postal workers due to the corona virus?
A small manila envelope with masks inside took 3 weeks to get to my daughter who lives about 5 hours away but still in Texas. And a package that I mailed a week ago yesterday and paid postage for it to be delivered on Monday still hasn't reached it's destination. Tracking keeps saying "in transit" but it looks like it's stuck in a P.O. in New Orleans and just sitting there since Monday??? I'm not complaining as these are strange times and none of these things were urgent - just noticing and wondering....
Another online grocery order blunder :
I needed a little dried parsley as I use it a lot in cooking - this time I was making some oven roasted garlic new potatoes. Since I use to pick up small quantities (maybe 2 Tablespoons) when we used to shop at Central Market, I didn't know the quantity to ask for online. So I said .2 lbs.... THAT was a mistake! We laughed when we saw the quantity we got. This would last me several years - guess we will share with our neighbors again.
...and I had to share this next pic with you... as it is too funny:
