Quote:ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- All New Mexico public schools have been canceled, starting Monday, for three weeks.

The governor's office said in a news release that the closure of K-12 public schools is in response to the ongoing threat of the coronavirus.

“This is a proactive measure to limit the potential community spread of COVID-19,” said Education Secretary Ryan Stewart. “We have seen other states take this measure after they have experienced community spread of this virus. New Mexico is going to be proactive and do everything we can to prevent the potential spread of the virus. I have been in communication with all of our superintendents about this proactive step, and we are all going to work together to address this public health challenge.”

Wow, and lets take a look at all the worried parents who are wondering who will take care of their kids. A day care with a whole bunch of kids. That's kind of defeating the purpose of no school right?

Not to mention that a lot of those parents are engaged in medical fields trying to combat this. Not a good decision imo. Children are not being impacted by this.
