samurai Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Guide to reduce virus risks issued for schools before reopening TOKYO - The education ministry on Tuesday issued guidelines to reduce the risk of coronavirus infection in schools across Japan that are scheduled to reopen in April after monthlong closures, calling for thorough ventilation of classrooms and warning against gathering in clusters.The guidelines also request that students and staff avoid conversing with others at close quarters, check their body temperature frequently and wear face masks. If an infection is confirmed, the infected individual and those they were in close contact with are to be suspended, according to the guidelines. Temporary closure of classes or the entire school will also be recommended. "The situation has not improved. We want (schools) to prepare (for reopening) without lowering their guard," education minister Koichi Hagiuda told a press conference. The ministry asked education boards across the country on Feb. 28 to close their schools until the end of the spring break in early April as part of efforts to contain the virus outbreak. But the request targeting elementary, junior high and high schools in the country was not mandatory and it was left to local authorities to decide how long the suspension should last. Some elementary and junior high schools in Japan resumed classes on March 16, about two weeks after shutdown. Hagiuda also said the government could ask schools to close again if there is an explosive surge in infections."We want schools to carefully consult with the prefectural governments" in deciding when to reopen classes, taking into consideration how the virus has been spreading locally, the minister told a parliament session. The guidelines also call for thorough hand-washing before eating school lunches. Hagiuda said the schools will be recommended to use checklists of measures against virus infection to be distributed to them by the ministry.

Watching the kerosene lamp flicker as the North wind blew through the cracks in the wall was somewhat entertaining. My ex grew up in a similar situation. They had a TV but CBC only. Wood heat and no indoor plumbing. She grew up half a mile outside a small town. Well water and an outhouse. Electricity and CBC their only luxuries. Found out today even if BC does a full shutdown to essential services I'll have to go to work. Being in the "higher risk" age group I was actually half hoping for a month off. Don't like to give up the money but I can afford it. And money won't do me any good in the hospital on a respirator. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started with a massive nosebleed at work...then food poisoning like symptoms that lasted days and had some wheezing. In hindsight I also wonder whether the bout of Bronchitis I had late February was actually Bronchitis or not...I would wake up with a sore throat then it was gone the next day. I spent 6 days at home until I wasn't fatigued and coughing all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the rate this is spreading across the world it's baaaaaad news. Also...after infected cruise ship cabins were evacuated the virus was still on surfaces up to 17 hours afterward! Now apparently there has to be more research done about it (because was it still able to be transmitted/active/whatever). But everyone has to take this thing seriously. Starting yesterday. that is not really a new development they are already aware that the virus can survive on surfaces for 24 hours or more in the right conditions humidity is an important factor so hearing it persisted longer then average on a ship is not really too surprising and however scarey the news is today dr. henry answered a couple questions more directly today then i have ever heard from her before she refuted what the royal columbia doctors wrote in their letter and also confirmed that we are not on the same trajectory as italy or the usa (also mentioned washington state) she said we got on top of the virus issue early and put in place proper measures early it could be she said something similar in an earlier update but i have listened to most and she has been very careful about her predictions she was pretty clear we are on a different and better track then those 2 countries Edited March 25, 2020 by coastal.view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) Just saw a story about a 42 year old healthcare worker in Georgia who died as a result of COVID-19. To make it far worse, the coroner estimates that her 4 year old daughter was with her for about 14 hours after she passed away. https://www.ajc.com/news/virus-claims-two-georgia-healthcare-workers/XTijtgzE6z2gcoZ7QLvPZN/ Edited March 25, 2020 by RUPERTKBD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
