How can we learn about school risk w/ this approach?: "There is no official national tally of school-linked COVID-19 cases, and some states are not reporting how many outbreaks have occurred or how many students and staff members have been infected"1/x nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1…
It's as if leaders don't want to know: "Some [states] claimed that coronavirus data on schools was not critical to protecting the broader public...And only a handful of states said they would report the actual numbers of infected students and staff." 2/x
Not even @cdcgov. Really discouraging. "A spokeswoman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that the agency was not tracking school-based COVID-19 cases, and the Education Department did not respond to a request for comment." 3/x
We need to get back to being a country where we get to the bottom of things, where we seek out the data and the truth, and we report it publicly and transparently. What if we get to the end of this semester and we havent even learned anything about school COVID risks? 4/x
We have to do better / end
