We were told today quarantine was extended to May 31st. I’m still working though.

While it's very lonely and difficult to be in quarantine, it really is necessary. We've lost so many citizens already; we can't risk another surge of the virus.
Sadly, no one knows enough about it. Science takes time, there are no quick fixes.

In Georgia, our date is still April 30th. Our governor hasn't said a word lately so who know whether he'll extend it. We don't get updates like NY and other states do.

Students definitely won't be back to school until fall. Rumor has it that some districts are contemplating having students repeat the grade they are presently in, especially if they have had access to virtual lessons and have not been doing that. It's been tracked that at first students were good about going online but the percentage has been steadily dropping off.
Sounds like propaganda to scare students and parents. Students and teachers have completed 8 school months of instruction.
After spring break they come back to more than a week of testing, end of the year planning and all kinds of closing activities. So at best 4 to 5 weeks of disciplined instruction is missed . Don't think they would have anyone repeat a grade unless the student had already be designated and with all this they may give everyone a pass. It's not a trauma.

I really shouldn't complain as I'm retired and this means a lot of people are either going to be working from home for a longer period of time or may not even be able to work until this is over.

This pandemic has impacted so many in so many ways that we couldn't even predict.
I don't know of any school district that will require students to repeat a grade. Virginia schools have been out since the end of the first week of March and I know that will not be the case. One reason is probably because all students are pretty much in the same boat. The grades that students had at that point will be their final grade for the school year.

In Virginia our stay at home has been extended until
June 10.
I have a small business, I was very careful about hiring just in case there was a downturn. This paid off back in the recession and has certainly paid off now. I also didn't go into debt, so yes I will be back. I have also not received any loans from anyone.
