glad to hear this

Yes.. but.. Parents that work, now what? Stick them all together in day cares?

same thing..
 Quoting: Tangy


Gov Inslee, to his credit, has directed there be PAID leave for anyone who has to miss a paycheck due to the virus. Anyone do affected should talk with their employer or just reach out to the governors office. It’s a great development!!!!
 Quoting: Bebe


Is it a good idea for the government to be making such demands of private businesses?

I work in the advertising agency industry. The business takes in money based on billable hours. If employees are not working on billable hours, there is no income to the business. How is this going to work?

Don't get me wrong -- something needs to be done if the government is essentially forcing people to miss work to care for their kids, but I'm not sure this is the answer.

Overreach.

The govt. will freeze everything, they did it here in Michigan during the recession. No one was kicked out of their homes and no one was without gas, water, and electricity. It would be done on a massive scale.

They're not saving money if they're still paying the teachers and staff, right?

Maybe they'll save on utilities for heat, water, electricity, etc.
