"The CDC itself released a study showing this.

It also recently wrote that there is “little evidence that schools have contributed meaningfully to community transmission.”

So why tie reopening schools to community spread?"🤔
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
"I feel a little dispirited b/c I had high hopes that schools would resume in-person learning

so many scientists & health officials including you & Dr. Fauci have been talking about 'the science supports opening the schools as much as possible'
Tapper: "I know the teachers unions have been pushing back on this...

You're asking for ... a number of measures that we're never going to be able to achieve...

Boy, I don't know if the schools are ever going to open until everybody's vaccinated."

A school district outside of Chicago is refunding taxpayers $10 million in surplus funding resulting from school closures in 2020.
"A budget surplus resulting from schools being closed most of 2020 will lead to $10 million distributed back to Naperville School District 203 taxpayers."
"This week, the school board authorized the creation of a tax reimbursement account.

The $10 million surplus will be deposited into the fund for a one-time tax reimbursement and the refunds be mailed to recipients as checks."

Jake Tapper pushes back against the CDC Director on their guidelines that now recommend essentially all schools remain closed for in-person instruction:
The new CDC guidelines incorporate positivity rates from the overall community

Following this metric would keep almost all schools closed

But the positivity rates in the schools tend to be much lower

And schools aren't major contributors of overall community transmission.
NYC positivity rate: 7.82%
NYC school positivity rate: 0.55%
