[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CDC team reviewed data from studies in the United States and abroad and found the experience in schools different from nursing homes and high-density worksites where rapid spread has occurred.

“The preponderance of available evidence from the fall school semester has been reassuring,” wrote three CDC researchers in a viewpoint piece published online Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. “There has been little evidence that schools have contributed meaningfully to increased community transmission.”

The only discussion we should be having now is how fast we should be opening.

Please email this to all SB reps!!!![/quote]

Also email them today’s numbers:

874/100,000

They are aware and voting to open anyway. The gig is up. [/quote]

Brabrand has most of this, except testing of teachers, in place. So if the school board wants to quibble about something, they can demand teacher testing. Shoot, I'd donate toward the cost of periodic testing for teachers who have yet to receive 2 doses of the vaccine myself if it would get schools open.[/quote]
