      A while ago, I started noticing something strange: Very progressive people, who love to talk about "believing in science," were adopting COVID restrictions *over and above* CDC guidelines. I thought, is there a story here? And, well, wow, there is.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/05/liberals-covid-19-science-denial-lockdown/618780/ …

      I called up some moms in Somerville, MA, who have been trying to get their schools to reopen for months. They're scientists who think in-person school is safe. A local leader called them "fucking white parents" on a hot mic during a public meeting.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/05/liberals-covid-19-science-denial-lockdown/618780/ …

          “I spent four years fighting Trump because he was so anti-science,” said one, a sanitation engineer. “I spent the last year fighting people who I normally would agree with desperately trying to inject science into school reopening, and completely failed.”https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/05/liberals-covid-19-science-denial-lockdown/618780/ …

          The last year has been harrowing. Making sacrifices--staying home, wearing masks, cancelling weddings and funerals and graduations--has become this sign of civic virtue. And I think some progressives are having a really hard time giving that up.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/05/liberals-covid-19-science-denial-lockdown/618780/ …

          Pretty much every accusation leveled by conservatives about how much of the response to COVID was just do the opposite of Trump was more spot on than we knew.

          Biden and CDC trying to force open schools is political not scientific. There is no vaccine for age 5-15 yet. September. Science > Political optics.

          The pushback on this piece is fascinatingly hysterical (not as in funny, but as in partaking of hysteria).

          Do you have children? Been in a school lately? Talked with an educator?

          The scientists who say school reopening is safe have some pretty demanding caveats: spacing, masking, ventilation, testing, protocols for if there is a positive. Schools didn’t meet that

          How do you keep them "spaced" when they are not in class? Schools are understaffed as it is. Do you have a bathroom attendent in every washroom cleaning the toilets after ever use? How do you socially distance if the halls aren't wide enough?
