[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wouldn’t vote for someone associated with APE if they were passing out winning lottery tickets.  No thanks.  I need someone with ideas who seeks to accomplish something. Not a complainer who just demands the system bend to their will. Ick. [/quote]

Based on the anti-science and anti-teacher commentary coming from that group...

Some of the other anti-science organizations that think kids need in person schools include such crackpots as Unicef, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Joe Biden administration!

These are all recent statements. And guess what? Schools are now opening.

APE was pushing to open back in the fall regardless of #s or safety measures.

OK, so there's older documents if you'd like those.

Brown School of Public Health had a guide in July (link to the December update): https://globalepidemics.org/2020/12/18/schools-and-the-path-to-zero-strategies-for-pandemic-resilience-in-the-face-of-high-community-spread/ 
Harvard's Chan School had something out in June: https://schools.forhealth.org/risk-reduction-strategies-for-reopening-schools/ 
AAP first put something out in MAY: https://www.aappublications.org/news/2020/05/05/covid19schoolopening050520[/quote]

These were all updated this winter. What specifically were they recommending last summer? 
[/quote]

IIRC, basically what CDC is still recommending. If you look at the Boston link, it explains the updates and talks about why they moved away from community spread metrics.[/quote]
