There is likely a 50-50 chance that all schools in U.S. will close in next couple of months (like Japan and South Korea already)

Why would we do this? To lessen the exposure to children and adults because children already bring home more stuff from school which often keeps parents as well as children sick from things like colds, flu, and parvo virus, mumps, measles, chicken pox etc. So, closing schools and teaching kids online likely might happen here as well in all 50 states to prevent more coronavirus deaths in several segments of our populations here in the U.S.

It might also be possible to keep more businesses open like drug stores and supermarkets and keep more truck drivers well to bring goods to supermarkets and drug stores and other necessities to keep people alive through all this.

The first problem is the coronavirus. But, the 2nd problem is getting medicines and food and water to people so they don't starve to death during this pandemic worldwide.

Also, people who have savings to buy food with will be the lucky ones to better survive all this because if the pandemic hits, many or most people won't be allowed to work to make money in many areas that become quarantined for various periods of time.

So, what happened in China to some degree might happen here too.
