U.S. schools are scrambling to prepare for the upcoming academic year as the pandemic surges nationwide, topping 3 million confirmed cases. President Donald Trump has called on schools to reopen, but there is no federal plan to coordinate the effort. Later, Vice President Mike Pence said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would clarify the guidance next week.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said everyone wants to open schools “but it must be safe for the children.” White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said Trump wanted to tie federal funds directly to students, and not their school district if it closes. But DeVos argued schools can safely re-open now, something echoed by some of Trump’s fellow Republicans in Congress.
And who cares about what the CDC has to say about anything. This is a private org with interest in vaxx/Bill Gates. It's always been compromised and trust these criminals will be rounded up for their crimes committed for the Rockefeller's Pharma cartel syndicate.
CDC finally grew a pair. About time, but good to see.
Trump is playing a dangerous game because if there is a significant increase in the number of children with the virus after schools open, there will be a whole lot of angry parents come Nov and they will not be in a forgiving mood. Trump will be finished.
Omg just going to say it a different way Trump Puppet
A scientist observes a fact and comes up with an explanation while a politically motivated person changes a fact to come up with an explanation.
Isn’t it nearly summer break anyway?
A measured response and plan as opposed to Trump's ham-fisted reactionary dictums.
Lets see the guidelines

DeVos blasts school districts that hesitate at reopeningPresident Trump today vowed to 'put pressure' on governors to reopen schools in the fall. 'It's time to be open, it's time to stay open,' said Trump. 'And we will put out the fires as they come up, but we have to open our schools' He has had success extinguishing lives in Texas. Good Like DumbTrump is informed about ANYTHING and can guide the country with his 'I think's.' Ever notice how frequently he starts sentences with 'I think. . . .' His self-declared reliable 'gut feelings' have never once steered me.
