Covid-19’s spread in schools appears to be limited when masks and other safety precautions are implemented, according to a CDC report, which suggested that schools might be able to reopen safely with mitigation measures in place

The results from the report, which looked at Covid-19 transmission in K-12 schools in Wood County, Wis., suggest that “schools might be able to safely open with appropriate mitigation efforts in place,” according to the CDC report summary.

The schools had a number of mitigation measures in place, the report said, including an estimated masking compliance of more than 92% among students. Class sizes ranged from 11 to 20 students, and different cohorts of students rarely interacted. Staff members were told to wear masks and keep 6 feet away from others.

Among the 5,530 students and staff members across 17 schools, a total of 191 Covid-19 cases were reported from Aug. 31 through Nov. 29.

I saw that the evil ones want to bulldoze their houses. Well fuck I'm seeing this with my own eyes but it's not registering to anyone else. I guess.

Schools open during mass shootings. I’m surprised they never closed. But they close for something that’s not as dangerous to there health.

How could they possibly know this? Seems to be a policy driven result.

Interesting how as soon as a new administration is installed we no longer need lockdowns and schools can reopen. Must be a coincidence, no need to think about it too much.
