Where's the part that says:
the virus will spread less by keeping schools open.
Saturday, secretary of the NSW Department of Education Mark Scott said school closures may actually increase the spread of the virus.
"If you just shut the schools, the kids are all down at the shopping centre or at the playground or at the movies, or perhaps being minded by grandparents or others - that may not actually be helping to limit the speed of the spread of the virus in the community," he told the ABC.

So.. EVERY other country (besides the UK, bless your heart, Boris) is doing it wrong by closing schools?
It seemed to work fine in S Korea, Japan and..well.. China.
They didn't say that.
it's a good idea as keeping schools open will help contain the virus...

What movie was it where the elite would make human sacrifices to those that remain above ground who survived but are mutants?

You also! I've added you as a friend, but you don't show up on the list (yet, likely, had the problem before). In any case, I've made a note of your username to make sure.
I do. The former is stated as a possibility and the latter is stated as an absolute.
I don't understand what difference there is between school closures may increase the spread and me saying keeping schools open will the virus will spread less.
Depends upon the local circumstances. I'm glad my daughter's school is waiting to see what happens locally before deciding what to do after spring break. I think that is a highly rational approach.
I think it's madness to keep schools open.
The state of California is “calling for the home isolation of all seniors” aged 65 and over, as well as all people with chronic health conditions, Governor Gavin Newsom said in a press conference on Sunday afternoon.
Newsom also said California’s bars, nightclubs, and wineries must be closed while restaurants may stay open but must reduce capacity by half.
Newsom said the state was working on how to make sure that California’s 5.3m people aged 65 and over, as well as those with chronic conditions, would have access to meals, water and other essentials while in home isolation.
Newsom said the new policies were designed to keep the most vulnerable California residents safe during the inevitable surge of coronavirus cases that the state is anticipating in the next week. The state of California has only 11,500 beds in adult and pediatric intensive care units, and only 7,587 ventilators currently in hospitals, Newsom said.
