New CDC guidance on schools written by White House officials. Politicizing the reopening of schools hurts communities and kids. We need real guidance for how to safely bring kids back to the classroom, such as incidence triggers for opening/closing.https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07/23/covid-live-updates-us/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-high_virus-luf-1225am%3Aprime-time%2Fpromo#link-ZU2YAGFR5ZCJLITVWMNREKWS6E …

Jennifer: The scientific approach is to look at the country that never closed day-care/primary/middle schools during the pandemic. They had zero
#COVID19 deaths among their 1.8 million children ages 1-15. Teachers had the same risk as other professions. https://folkhalsomyndigheten.se/contentassets/c1b78bffbfde4a7899eb0d8ffdb57b09/covid-19-school-aged-children.pdf …1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

In your judgment, how should we think about older high school students (age 15-18)? We’ve already had deaths in this age group in United States. I don’t know if we have comprehensive data on hospitalizations or other harmful outcomes short of death.https://twitter.com/facesofcovid/status/1286451025579249670?s=21 …

Very sad. For children ages 0-14, 2/1-7/13, US had 36 deaths in #COVID19, 104 due to influenza and 11,988 total for all causes. Also very sad. We need to be scientific and smart to minimize the total number of deaths. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku …
