Again, don't tell me @WHCOS is science based.

He isn't. This is all about partisanship. Not science. https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1354234528332656642
The media, who screamed 'PARTY OF SCIENCE!' every single day last year, strangely silent on this lack of science.

@ErinBurnett did a poor job in this interview.
"The call by Dr. Honein and other officials reflects a consensus among some leading educators and public health experts that schools should be the last to close and the first to open when shutdowns are necessary."

So are Dems in NY, CA, IL doing that?

NOPE.
@NYGovCuomo, @GavinNewsom and @GovPritzker all are opening restaurants in a couple weeks...

...and schools are still mostly closed.

And has Biden called them out? NOPE.

So, strike one for Dems.
Another trope: that community spread has to be almost zero to open schools. True? NOPE.

"C.D.C. researchers also took a look at 17 elementary and secondary schools in rural Wisconsin where mask-wearing was routine."
"The incidence of infection was lower in schools than in the community at large, the scientists found. During 13 weeks in the fall of 2020, there were 191 infections among staff and students; only seven resulted from in-school transmission, according to the study."
Here is another paper, from NC.

Over 9 weeks, 90,000 students and
staff attend school in-person; of these, 773 community-acquired infections...Through contact tracing, NC health Dept
determined an additional 32 infections were acquired within schools.

No instances of child-to adult transmission of SARS-CoV-2 were reported within schools.
CONCLUSIONS: In the first 9 weeks of in-person instruction in NC schools, we found
extremely limited within-school secondary transmission of SARS-CoV-2, as determined by
contact tracing.
Note: This is without ANY major structural changes to schools, etc.

All they did was mask, and tracing. THAT IS IT.

Those saying you need billions and billions of dollars to do this safely ARE LYING TO YOU.
