Trump on Wednesday morning threatened to cut funding to schools that fail to reopen, claiming without evidence that reluctance to open was an attempt to sabotage him politically

if you dont let your kids get covid, you're trying to make trump look bad.

letting children die to own da libz

thats modern republicanism

This is the inherent flaw of suckling on the federal teat.

I love how all of a sudden now the schools are so important and must be open.

I got news for you, it's TRUE. My school wants these kids back in the building.

Then we will close three weeks in when cases spike.

Less literal than he used to mean it.

I double dog dare Donald Trump

That was legit said?

Also, it seems like every school around me and everyone Ive talked to already has stuff in plan. Kids alternating what days they come in. Doing stuff online. I couldnt imagine a school district not having anything planned as of now, especially since some areas are going back to school mid August.

Kids are literally going to turn into little disease vectors.

Trump and DeVoss (that autocorrected to "devil" at first) should go on a tour, preferably to Florida, Texas, and Arizona and hug all of the children as they're entering the school building

What we have seen so far in the literature and anecdotally, as well is that kids really do seem to be both less likely to catch the infection and less likely to spread the infection. It seems to be even more true for younger kids, under 10 or under 12. And older kids seem to play less of a role than adults.
Here in Colorado, Ive been following our state health department website very closely. They update data every day and include the outbreaks in the state they are investigating. As you can imagine, there are lots and lots in long-term care facilities and skilled nursing homes, some in restaurants and grocery stores. There have been a total of four in child care centers, and we do have a lot of child care centers open. In almost every one of those cases, transmission was between two adults. The kids in the centers are not spreading Covid-19. Im hearing the same thing from other states, as well.

From our perspective as pediatricians, the downsides of having kids at home versus in school are outweighed by the small incremental gain you would get from having kids six feet apart as opposed to five, four or three. When you add into that other mitigation measures like mask wearing, particularly for older kids, and frequent hand washing, you can bring the risk down.

Reopening schools is so important for the kids, but really for the entire community. So much of our world relies on kids being in school and parents being able to work. Trying to work from home with the kids home is disproportionately impacting women. So it goes beyond just the health of the child, which is, of course, very important. As a country, we should be doing everything we can right now, for lots of reasons, to make sure we can safely reopen schools in the fall.

My district (I am a teacher) said they will release their "finalized" plan sometime next week. Our superintendent said today that he expects kids to be returning back to the classroom in September. I teach in Philadelphia and the district services 202,000 kids. When/if we go back in September people will catch covid and people will die, how many idk, but the fact is undeniable.
