Our schools last night announced they were closing for 3 weeks. One of those weeks (the last one) they are on spring break anyway. I was at Walmart this morning and the shelves are cleared. The man working there said it was insane. He said as soon as the word went out that the schools were closed people came in there and bought everything. There is absolutely no toilet paper, hand soap, rubbing alcohol among other things. For some reason toilet paper is huge on people's lists. Is it like that anywhere else with the toilet paper? We can't figure it out.

My concern with closing schools is now most kids will go to grandma and grandpas houses while mom and dad work. Grandparents are highest risk group, so will this backfire? Would it have been safer to leave the lowest risk group in school?
