Keep schools open. Shut down almost everything else

Last Monday night we got the call we’ve been dreading. The assistant principal told me over the phone that our son, a 13-year-old autistic boy with Down syndrome, had been exposed to Covid-19 the previous week by “someone who works closely with him” in his special education classroom. My wife soon developed symptoms and tested positive, my son’s been running a low fever all week and I’ve had a weird dry cough. Covid has come to our home.
