CDC guidelines are the minimum of what should be done to reopen schools, says health expertThe US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for reopening schools are the minimum of what the country should be doing to make sure that schools can reopen and stay open, public health expert Dr. Ashish Jha told CNN today.
“I think the CDC's recommendations are really basic and, in fact, I think they should go further. Look, you can open up schools anywhere you want. That's really not the debate,” said Jha, the faculty director of the Harvard Global Health Institute.
Jha added that the spread of Covid-19 in the community must be kept under control for schools to open safely – something that is not happening in multiple hotspots around the country.Jha said it is “cavalier” to say it would be safe to open schools because the virus does not make children sick as often as it does adults. Kids can and do get sick, and kids can spread the virus to adults, Jha noted.
Jha also disputed remarks made by Vice President Mike Pence and Coronavirus Task Force Response Coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx, who said they are seeing encouraging trends in hotspots like Texas, Arizona and Florida.“I'm looking at the same data that they are, and I'm not seeing it. I wish they, I hope that they're right,” he said. “But positivity rates in my mind are continuing to go up in Arizona and Texas and Florida.
What is the deathrate again?
Idiots should have known better. Sports are NOT that IMPORTANT people!!!!!!!!!
Mac said “ Clemsons about to be canceled ... all y’all MoFo’s catching this shit now ... we winning the acc”
And none of them probably have symptoms. Lmao this shit so overblown
You mean UNC tutors were tested. No way UNC players took these tests. Let alone ended up with a positive outcome.
Dang it took that many people to get sick for them to suspend it!! Smh
First time any athlete ever failed a test at UNC.
Wonder how many even knew that they had it. That wouldn’t be news worthy though.
“0” chance NCAA plays this season!!!

There will be no football this year :(
And they were all Chinese manufactured pregnancy test packs...
I don’t trust ANY Covid data....... it’s all cooked up to leverage fear upon the public.......
😳😳😳....😷😷😷
Time to follow the Ivy League again. Postpone football until the spring.

JayBilas Whoa
5M23129 I always hate to hear of illness, of course, but with every story like this, I think to myself, 'will this finally convince people to take this seriously?'
I call this one, “Oranges in the night sky”.
Yeah not true headline
I thought those were sultanas.
Herd immunity against the “cold”. Well played NC, well played.
Let's open TrumpIsALaughingStock . Only has chance to finish off rest of the GreatestGeneration
They have a football program?
TribSports If you think sports is coming back, you're dreaming.
I bet they had mild symptoms just like the colleges around here. Don’t forget to post that part!
JimmysSeafood
They know they get better right ....
_tonyjefferson Herd immunity
It's almost like sports shouldnt be a luxury we have right now
And none will die and all will have a full recovery
Last year they suspended for the flu oh wait no they didn’t
Same as the flu. Everyone will be fine in a few days
Ummmmmm Gym Jordan so much for college football 😱😱😱😱
Shuttin’ ‘er down!
Finally, a test they can pass
They have a football program?
So what. How many of them died? The sooner everyone is exposed the sooner life will resume.
Jesus
37/429=8.6%! Math is hard. Also this is multiple teams in the athletics dept. Not just football. FakeNews
Man just let this sports shit go
It’s not even the flu now
JayBilas Meanwhile many others have almost none. Let’s play panic
JayBilas That’s misleading. 37 athletes- not just football players- tested positive out of 425 athletes.
Were they the actual players or just the graduate assistants who were doing homework and taking tests for the players?
IMAGINE IF THEY WERE YOUNG CHILDREN AND NOT FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
Now report the hospitalizations and deaths.....
JayBilas Zero symptoms. Would we cancel workouts if a few players got a cold and actually got sick? Nope. This is insanity.

🤷♂️ NBA NFL espn
👏🏼 Death 👏🏼 Rates 👏🏼 Are 👏🏼Down!!!!!!
Was anyone sick, or died or just positive?
This will happen in all programs across the country. High schools and youth sports too. COVID19TX COVIDー19
don't know when this covid shit is gonna stop
BryncessAnne yikes
With the % of athletes testing positive for this stuff I am convinced either the tests are completely worthless or more than 50% of the US population already has this thing.
TESLAcharts How many even have symptoms? Zero?
That’s a crystal ball into the future of college sports right there. sad
37?!!! I don’t see college sports returning in the fall, or maybe returning, but canceling soon after.
These tests must be rigged, it’s hard to believe that many got infected.
But now they all already had it so resume as usual....
Ouch.
'voluntary' 🤭
Shows a picture of bacteria
CNN ignores report blaming GovCuomo fir over 7,000 nursing jobs deaths Is it because his brother works at cnn? You can’t trust cnn 7000 seniors died My God
