C.D.C. Calls on Schools to Reopen, Downplaying Health Risks
The agency’s statement followed earlier criticism from President Trump that its guidelines for reopening were too “tough.”
And ¶ 2 nails it:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published the statement, along with new “resources and tools,” Thursday evening, two weeks after Mr. Trump criticized its earlier recommendations on school reopenings as “very tough and expensive.”
Exactly how is this not a case of politics trumping (so to speak) science? The report does concede that individual communities may need to delay or cancel in-person classes, and the decision is theirs to make. Still, CDC has mishandled this issue, aided and abetted by the geniuses in the West Wing.
