Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says schools should not be shutting down due to surges in COVID-19 and expressed worry about government overreach.

“I worry about government overreach, sending down edicts that will lead to school closures because either folks are afraid to go in or are infected and can’t go,” Cardona told The Associated Press in an interview.

Despite the new wave of COVID-19 cases, “schools should be open, period,” Cardona said, according to the AP.

So that those poor under paid teachers can condust their lessons from the safety of Bahamas.

There hasn’t been a Covid “surge.” There was an increase in cases that peaked in late August and has dropped off. Daily new cases are about what they were in late March. Daily deaths average about 1.5 per state. If you look at the graphs on a site like Worldometer, you would think that things look pretty darn good compared to just about any time in the last three years.
