Dr. Fauci: Schools should be outdoors as much as possible
FOX5 ^ | 8/14/20 37 minutes ago | Associated Press

School districts developing their plans for reopening for the new academic year should find ways to offer as many outdoor activities as possible, from classes to recess and lunchtime, the nation's top infectious disease expert recommended in an online discussion Thursday.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, who heads the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also suggested in his Facebook Live chat with Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo that, on school buses, windows should remain open and students wear their masks as much as possible.

"Get as much outdoors as you can. If you look at the superspreader events that have occurred, they're almost always inside," he said, citing major outbreaks at nursing homes, meatpacking warehouses, prisons and weddings and other social events.

And when asked by Raimondo what his recommendation would be for reopening schools, Fauci said states shouldn't take an all-or-nothing approach.

"If you want to open schools, do what you need to do," Fauci said. "Close the bars. Wear your masks. Because when you do that, you will bring the infections down."

I agree with this.
The virus may be overblown but it is real and there is room for concern. I can’t really see how this is unreasonable.

Especially if the sad-sack, left-wing, commie-pinko teachers are afraid their infernal reward is going to be achieved sooner than they anticipated, then conduct class outside.

I guess POTUS knows what he’s doing to get re-elected, which is all that is saving this country at this point, but damn, fire this dumbass. I doubt it would cost Trump a single vote.

But this isn't a plague. This "plague" is the level of a cold, way below the flu.

Making kids sit outside in the winter is child abuse.

I need to do a vanity about this but let me get started here:

You cannot make CoV policy about ANYTHING: Schools, masks, sports, concerts, stores, bars, restaurants, voting, etc. UNTIL YOU DEFINE THE OBJECTIVE.

If the objective is zero new infections you might as well kill yourself now.

But it seems that a lot of policies intend exactly that. School policy in New Hampshire, for example, is to “keep every child safe”. The policy does not define “safe from what?”.

We have had one death of a person under age 40 since March 1. ONE DEATH.

New positive tests are just that. They are not “cases”.

People are very emotional about policy. But their emotion has no defined object. We can’t make policy until we know what the policy is meant to achieve, and how we will measure success or failure.

How could we get along without the ever consistent, politically neutral, totally uncorruptable Fauch? /sarcasm

In all seriousness, I don’t know what’s worse: The shutdown or hearing more garbage from this tools mouth.
