When the CDC issued its latest set of pandemic guidelines, many were disappointed, to put it mildly. The revised rules were particularly wishy-washy on the subject of reopening the schools, leaving far too much wiggle room for the teacher’s unions to keep them closed far into the future, or running virtual learning instead of going back to the classrooms. What Dr. Fauci and the leaders of the CDC probably didn’t count on was being challenged based on the science that they were supposedly relying on to guide them. And the challenge in question isn’t coming from any armchair quarterbacks, either. Dr. Tara O. Henderson, Dr. Monica Gandhi, Dr. Tracy Beth Hoeg, and Dr. Daniel Johnson are four of the doctors who conducted one of the major studies of the pandemic in Wisconsin and it was their work being cited by the CDC. Now they’ve published an editorial criticizing the health agency for “misinterpreting” the data and calling for all schools to be reopened for in-person classes. (USA Today)....
The doctors go on from there to hit the CDC with a barrage of facts that have now been clearly established. They first note that children are the least likely to suffer poor outcomes from COVID. As of March 3, 286 children have died from COVID as compared to more than half a million adults. That’s on par with the number of children who die from pneumonia every year. And at this point, we’re losing more children to suicide than we are to the novel coronavirus.
They next point out that transmission rates in schools are shockingly low....

In Canada from Covid... 22 thousand+ deaths... Under 19... 4 deaths.
Ouch. This is going to leave a mark and there cannot be much debate about it if they really “follow the science.”
When doctors are constantly challenging the CDC, you KNOW something is wrong with Fauci, the Covid god. You also KNOW that something is wrong with the teachers unions who don’t want to go. back to work. You also KNOW there is something WRONG with the regime occupying DC and the whitehut.
I've said all along that teachers should be laid off if not teaching. Let them collect unemployment, while it lasts. Bet they would then be quite happy to return to school. Remove the incentive to stay home!
So, only 286 out of 56.6 MILLION K-12 students died from Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus? And we’ve shut school down for this? So does this mean we should close school down for anything that kills more 286 students nationwide over the course of more than a year?
Anyone who thinks this is based on science is an idiot that hasn’t been paying attention.
The CDC is a joke.
When I want medical advice, I’ll go to a real doctor.
Are we sure that perhaps some of those “docs” have their Ed D degree?
Not kidding too much.

During the 2019-2020 school year 188 K-12 students died of the flu. Among 56.6 million students, that is virtually the same as from Chinese Wuhan Coronavirus. Should we close all schools because of the flu?
We shut down schools and sports and the booming Trump economy for this. Absolutely Scandalous!
I’m so tired of liberals lecturing the rest of us about their so-called “science” when it’s nothing more than junk politicized “science.”
The Democrats just love the Covid-19 Powertrip...They are going to ride this pony til it falls over dead.

Interesting.
Then the corollary should exist in the flu, which mysteriously disappeared....
Well, they’re following the scientists
