    This isn't based on data. It's just their recommendations. There's no data at that site showing any proof that going to school outside of their defined parameters is unsafe. There is no study that shows where mortality increased when we didn't follow their recommendations.

    and this is the same CDC that changed its tunes so many times on so many issues. Like I'm supposed to just "take their word".

  2. The CDC has the guidleines for schools to open safely, it is up to each BoE to move forward with it if they can. However packing the kids in 5 days a week with no masks and no social distancing or a system of cleaning is not really being safe.

    Statements from CDC officials indicate that your local schools should only be open if they meet "Lower risk of transmission in schools".

    So are you now stating that the CDC -- one of the world's premier organizations on disease -- does not have the data to back their standards.

    Plenty of data is available from Europe on school openings in a safe manner.

    Your answer to being shown the clear CDC guidelines is to claim that it is not based on data -- simply absurd.

    so where's the data they have to back up their standards? I'm happy to admit I'm wrong. Where is the data showing that schools that don't follow their "standards" result in higher mortality among children and staff? Where are the studies?

    Where is the data my car will drive me safely down the road? Where is the data my engine will make horsepower if I put gas in the tank? Show me the data!

    There's plenty of data that shows safety statistics on cars. Also plenty of horsepower and torque studies based on specific types of gas with various octane levels. Would you like to discuss some?

    It is highly specific.

    You should probably just sit down and be quiet. Maybe post another "MAGATard" thread.

    Exactly.

    At this point there should be agreement that the CDC has clearly defined the risk levels for opening schools for in-person learning. The final standards from the CDC for school safety are expected on Wednesday of this week.

    As outlined by CDC officials schools should only open for in-person learning if the risk level is Low or below.

    Of course, in the U.S. it is up to local school boards to make the decision to open/close schools. Parents should closely question any school board which attempts open schools when the risk level is above Low.

    LOL! "Exactly". There are literally books written on vehicle safety data. Very hyper specific. you people are fucking clowns.

    There are literally books written on the best public health safety measures in pandemics over the past centuries. Complete with data and information.

    I was told the CDC has an agenda to make the former president look bad. So any data is likely to be made up anyway.
