    Our state government here in São Paulo has made an app and used a TV channel to broadcast school subjects and activities for us to do. They also added a live chat to the app to get the 2 or 3 correct answers from students and try to correct the misconceptions they presume we have (although how they're finding these answers in a live chat where up to 70k people are live simultaneously is beyond me, and this was as productive as any big streamers' chat on twitch.) The main advantage is I don't need to read the chat so I can focus on what they're saying. The main disadvantage is that the grades aren't broadcasted simultaneously but one by one, meaning that there isn't enough time to convey all the subjects in one day.

    San Francisco, other Bay Area counties extend shelter-in-place order 'through May'

    San Francisco, other Bay Area counties extend shelter-in-place order 'through May'

    Earlier Monday, San Francisco, in tandem with five other Bay Area counties — Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara — announced extensions "through May" to their respective shelter-in-place orders. The guidelines, released in a joint statement, also mention a “limited easing of specific restrictions for a small number of lower-risk activities,” but did not specify what those activities might be. A specific end date for the extended shelter-in-place order was also not given.
