      Our school district has a school re-opening plan (way into the future/not commenting on that part). They will keep schools closed FOR A WHOLE DAY each week for "deep cleaning." Kids have missed so much school. If/when they open, they should open. @CDCgov should address this ASAP.

      It's ridiculous for schools (or anyplace) to incur such expenses and so much lost time for deep cleaning like this. Disinfecting high-touch surfaces (DURING THE DAY!) is good. Keeping the whole place closed an extra day "deep clean" does not fit with existing @CDCgov guidelines.

          I mean what's the theory? If fomites are such a risk, the plan has to be to address the problem during the day, when people are touching things. Not "DEEP CLEAN" the next day, when nobody is in the building. I support a sensible high-touch disinfection plan during the day.

          It makes zero sense when the virus doesn’t live long on surfaces. The weekend deep cleans the whole place just by virtue of time.

          Yes I would greatly prefer that they clean the bathrooms once or twice during the day. The bathrooms are usually neglected and barely "cleaned" at the end of the day. They are always gross.

          Cobb County GA, home to school board members who refused to wear masks to honor a teacher who died from COVID, closes each Wed for “deep cleaning.” Board also spent $12MM on unproven UV lights and hand washing machines. The priorities are way out of whack.

          this protocol has been common if not ubiquitous. I think it's also to give the teachers time to prep and retool and was based on plans made months ago when less was known about transmission. but your point is a good one.

          Schools haven’t updated their planning. All guidance is based upon what we thought we knew in April. Staffing is a real concern but we could be creative in the ways we address this but we lack imagination
