eanyills Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) With Williamsville and Lancaster schools announcing their closed indefinitely, I’d expect the rest (Buffalo and immediate suburbs) to close indefinitely as well. Who knows if the BPS will actually have that school day Tuesday. Sort of defeats the purpose of starting a social distancing quarantine if they do.

boater Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Small local businesses don't have the deep pockets to weather this storm. I'm going to practice my social distancing and continue to patronize the local small business (unless, of course, I'm symptomatic). I went to one restaurant, the owner/manager was distraught. I was his only customer that hour. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I mentioned this in another thread. It seems most of the country is following Ohio’s lead at this point, but are basically 3-4 days behind. Ohio is barring eating-in at all restaurants and bars starting tonight. They were the first to shut down all schools (3 weeks), but I have heard that they may soon shut down school for the rest of the school year. I would bet in the next 2-3 weeks we will see a total shut down of all schools for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
