Why are the TV stations NOT asking for people to keep a distance?

the world has changed, Tell people to stop meeting up

I watched fox today, they are showing public service announcements

1. In Chicago I noticed some of the TVnews people are speaking from their home. Not sick

just home + keeping in place
and the ones in studios are placed a distance from each other
Stay at home talk is on the tv all the time

2. Same vein - they don't list school closings with KEEPING KIDS HOME

When the school closings started, the chain stores and grocery stores were PACKED with kids - mostly younger type mommies and 2-3 young kids, also both parents with kids - everybody having a BLAST, like it's all SpringBreak/Christmast/Summer!1

I tried calling the county hotline to say that the LIST of precautions all over the media were: Wash hands; 6 ft away; avoid crowds -------------BUT NOTHING ABOUT kids not taken to stores, school closings NOT a vacation.

The county employee acted like I was just a weird curmudgeon (I am but have a point).

What's the point of closing schools if the kids (parents) treat the stores like playgrounds?!1

3. Maybe the parents don't want to leave the kids at home

while going to the grocery store.

In some states it's illegal to leave a kid under the age of 10 home alone.

4. My topic was not about leaving them at home alone. S'long again, so many times.

5. Your topic was about the parents taking the kids out.

While you weren't yourself addressing leaving them at home, that's the choice. Take them out or leave them home. Leaving them at home is not always a very good idea.

I'm guessing you never had kids of your own. Or if you did, you were never responsible for them 24/7.

6. If your posts didn't irritate me so much i would find them funny.

Why do you continue? Leave me alone.
