It's sobering to think that even with such pronouncements, Hogan is one of the better Governors on this and other issues...
It's sobering to realize how many people like you are willing to overlook all evidence to the contrary and spout off about how dangerous schools are . . . for what reason? So you can enjoy the feeling of living in the middle of catastrophic times? Find a new thrill.
Because I'm an expert in a molecular biology (which, you know, includes viruses), and I KNOW that opening schools shouldn't be done lightly. It's not that it can't be done. It's that I doubt Americans can accept and stick to a stringent plan. Japanese and Koreans? Sure. Europeans? Deplorable effort all over Europe, and cases shot up. Americans? I'm not holding out much hope...
Funny that you're an expert in microbiology, but your post is basically about social science (how people and systems behave cross-culturally). I'm just curious, have you consulted any actual social science publications or experts about this, or do you think it's obvious enough to a smart person?
If #2, that's fine, this is an anonymous internet message board, but you shouldn't expect credentials in microbiology to give you clout in other areas, much like I don't think my PhD in anthropology qualifies me to make public health recommendations just because I can read scientific papers too.

You need to give people a bad guy to get angry about and teachers unions are unpopular these days so why not. Teachers have been getting mighty uppity
lately.
It is like we all want so badly to live in a heroic fantasy that it never occurs to us we are living in our own cartoon coccon.

I agree that schools should be open but right now we are all being held hostage by these terrible school systems.
Are there no state funds he can withhold, etc.?
Um, no. This is not how people govern first of all.

Puts pressure on Northam to do the same.... hopefully.
