Here in Ohio, according to Wikipedia, there are 878 high schools. I don't know how many have marching bands, but approximately 225 high school bands compete under the auspices of one or more of three organizations (OMEA, MSBA, and/or BOA).

N.E. Brigand Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) The situation in Georgia at least seems to be holding steady and not getting worse, to judge from the appearance of these maps that were posted to the state dept. of health website on July 2 and July 17: July 2: July 17: Only three counties in the red zone on both maps, and the number of counties in the other color categories seem to be staying the same. The state's outbreak must be plateauing. Good news, Georgia. . . . /sarcasm Edited July 19, 2020 by N.E. Brigand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.E. Brigand Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 In 2009, during the H1N1 flu outbreak, more than 700 schools in the U.S. were closed as a way of slowing the spread. Here's a 2011 study that looked at how effective those measures were (more in some places than others): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3039590/ The H1N1 flu outbreak killed about 12,000 Americans over the course of a year. As everyone knows, Covid-19 has killed about 140,000 Americans in four-and-a-half months (a number that, as was noted earlier today, is almost certainly a significant undercount, which is normal during such outbreaks).
