    Great piece 🌟 shout out to — The hard truth of democracy is that some citizens are always giving things up for others. Only vigorous forms of citizenship can give a polity the resources to deal w/ the inevitable problem of sacrifice.

    European countries have realized it only works to open schools when restaurants/bars are closed to indoor dining. (It's also noteworthy that in Europe, most children go home for lunch.)

    This is all true but it's time to steel our wills and advocate for support of this is a new coronavirus relief package.

    This costs so much money tho. Ventilation reports found that most Philly schools were safe for under 7 people per room... many safe for ZERO. What we know about the airborne virus means it's not hygiene theater we need, it's real HVAC and windows not bolted shut.

    Empirically, school seem the 1 place NOT spreading -conversely, if schools close perhaps EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD (hello NYC bars!) We’ve figured out it’s safe to have schools open. Keep them that way Dean +

    Yes, recognize this. Increasing availability of in person learning requires a substantial public and organizational commitment to support the effort.

    Replying to @j_g_allen @dsallentess @ashishkjha
    Most educators agree with this article. But when community spread is high, it is the number of exclusions/quarantines among faculty, and the lack of available substitutes, that make staffing in-person school difficult. A lot of current closures are due to inability to staff.
