[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So that didn't take long. Elementary students returned yesterday and already APE is fundraising for new signs that say:

Your Student, Every Day
APS is Ready

Did I miss the announcement that COVID is over? Because I swear I just heard the CDC Director and President Biden say now is not the time to relax our mitigation efforts because 50,000 people a day are catching COVID and 2,000 people a day are still dying from it. Presumably this mitigation includes the social distancing that is impossible if all students go back right now. I also heard President Biden say yesterday that adults will be vaccinated by the end of May, so maybe it's worth waiting for at least that? [/b]

WTAF is wrong with them? [/quote]

Did you miss the announcement that school is essential and should be opened?

The data is not really on the CDC's side on this one. ([url=https://www.statnews.com/2021/02/20/new-cdc-school-opening-guidelines-dont-follow-the-science/]source[/url]). If they'd released science-backed school re-opening guidelines, that sure would've helped.[/quote]

It's not just CDC that says ventilation and distancing are required. COVID spreads through the air. There was an interview on NBC yesterday about how bad APS's engineering firm said the ventilation was in a lot of school buildings. We have schools that are well above 100% capacity. Cramming a bunch of people into a poorly ventilated room right now is not exactly the smartest move. Let's wait a few months until there are more vaccinations and fewer cases. We'll get there in the fall.[/quote]
