[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am really tired of the “follow the science” crowd refusing to acknowledge that there is no difference in infection rates between the parts of the country that are on lockdown and those that are almost fully open, playing sports, attending school 5 days a week, etc. Where is the honest assessment from the political class of the damage this is doing to our kids?[/quote]

Well, there are larger infection rates in the population at large in states that have had the loosest regulations. But when it comes to looking specifically at schools that really follow good protocols - not a lot of transmission, and DC independents can exercise good protocols.

And as for sports, particularly OUTDOOR sports, at this point there just doesn't seem to be much evidence of transmission, period. So if schools can do some testing and such, the sports themselves shouldn't be disease vectors, and I hope to hell we get a spring season. I think an argument could be made that having sports would lessen the likelihood of the kids doing risky other social behaviors that would more likely contribute to the virus spread also, but that's intuition; no real data to back it up.

TL;DR: Private schools should be able to use campus to some extent and should be able to get some sports going. [/quote]
