    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed social distancing guidelines for schools, saying students can now sit 3 feet apart in classrooms. The advice represents a change from the 6-foot standard that forced some schools to remove desks.http://apne.ws/PCu2WDW

        1. Is there a vaccine for children? 2. Do all schools have state of the art ventilation? 3. Just keep all students back a year. Let them have a do over. Stop the drama.

        Covid is the drama, getting kids back into schools is crucial.

        This is about reopening schools so adults can go back to work. Not about child saftey. Too many over crowded schools. Sad!https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/europes-schools-are-closing-again-on-concerns-they-spread-covid-19-11610805601 …

        Precisely. It’s about the economy. Not keeping children safe. If three feet were sufficient, why not three feet for adults? And we all know some experts have said six feet isn’t enough. Bottom line: the @CDC is stilll being influenced by a POTUS’ political will. @POTUS

        So ... there are spikes in 15 states from relaxing rules so stay vigilant ... but also let’s try cramming 2x as many kids in classrooms instead of spending on safety and overcrowding? 🤔 WTF, CDC? @CDCgov @CDCDirector 🙄😂🤦🏼‍♂️🤬 #CDC #MixedMessages

        So either this was BS before and we closed schools for nothing or this is BS now and we’re unsafe. Total confidence in the govt. lol
