Don't know. My local school district is set to open except it's going to stay closed a whole day of the week for "deep cleaning". Makes no sense. Open with the right mitigations, fine. Waste tons of money and a whole day for hygiene theater? Not so fine.https://twitter.com/Robin_Quon/status/1368965239618830342 …

To keep people's network from expanding too much, too quickly. US still has relatively high levels of infection. Coming down fast, but it's there. Keep indoor/unmasked encounters limited for now, but vaccinated can feel safer with family/close friends.https://twitter.com/cschneider8224/status/1368969664617795586 …

Lemme add from my last article. I think vaccinated people should keep up *public* precautions not because I think they are still at high risk, but because we shouldn't have two classes of people while there's community spread/people without vaccine access. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/02/how-public-health-messaging-backfired/618147/ …pic.twitter.com/i7wJkPr3La

The ramp down (and that's what it is) from the pandemic has the same sociological issue as ramp-up. Even if we had widespread tests & only symptomatic transmission, it was totally unreasonable for the CDC/WHO to ask "only the sick" to wear a mask last year. Now it's the reverse.

Yes. Being vaccinated is not "false sense of security" because it is genuine risk reduction. Transmission risks are clearly, lower, too—not zero but substantially lower. Still, we shouldn't shift public behavior—yet—because society can't work like that.https://twitter.com/humanprovince/status/1368987238047039494 …

More YEAY! CDC explicitly links post-vaccine incentives & uptake: "Maintaining a requirement to continue all prevention measures after vaccination may disincentivize vaccine uptake". People want to get vaccinated "to return to more normal life, feeling safe around other people."pic.twitter.com/CpB75jz4bt

Such music to my ears to see CDC say all this explicitly. "In summary, relaxing certain prevention measures for fully vaccinated persons may be a powerful motivator for vaccination, and thus should be an important goal of the U.S. vaccination program."

It's just excellent to see the CDC not just expand the positive guidelines for the vaccinated, but explicitly acknowledge that not doing so may "disincentivize vaccine uptake" especially as it is—indeed—the leading motivation many cite (as the CDC notes!)https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1359605867881127936 …

I totally understand wanting the schools to be open. But schools also have to operate under IDEA. A lot of kids with disabilities or illnesses are still high-risk, even if the general population of kids isn't. it isn't right or fair to consider this "over" in that respect.
