% US K-12 students attending "virtual-only" schools = 33.6% (from 35.2% last week)
% US K-12 students attending "traditional" in-person/every day schools = 40.8%
% US K-12 students attending "hybrid" schools = 25.6%
Map of where schools are open vs. map of where Biden/CDC plan (everywhere red) recommends closed middle/high, force elementary hybrid and make all sports "virtual only."
Burbio estimates that 93% of students currently attending full-time in-person schools are in Biden's red tier.
Science shows us schools are low-risk settings everywhere in the world, with or without mitigation and regardless of community transmission. But you're not doing science, are you?
There is zero science behind 6 feet. An arbitrary doubling of WWO's 1 meter, and overwhelmingly counterindicated in the school context, where its principal effect is sitting kids home.
Your own Wisconsin study has zero distancing within classes.
CDC published a study showing nearly zero transmission even with 40% countywide positivity rates... and is now going to Cuomo/Newsom things up with color-coded zones.
Six feet has zero science but is great for closing schools.
As expected. It's a school closure plan, not a school opening plan. Union bosses call the tune now.
Tomorrow the CDC is going to issue an unscientific plan dictated by the White House based on political considerations that, if followed, will almost certainly result in MORE senseless school closures.
Reminder: States and school districts don't have to pay any attention to it.
