Schools shouldn't shut everything down, but opt for short-term suspensions during pandemic, CDC says

The new guidelines address how schools can work with public health officials if an infected person has been on campus. Rather than shut everything down immediately for a long period of time, the guidelines said one option is an initial short-term class suspension and cancellation of events and after-school activities.That would give public health leaders the time they need to determine how widespread the infections are.

Super spreading events help drive pandemicIn rural areas, super spreading events have been especially important in helping drive the pandemic, researchers in Georgia said this week. Superspreading events like parties, conferences and large gatherings have been cautioned against by leaders throughout the country. Earlier this month, experts raised concern about a motorcycle rally in a small South Dakota town which was expected to bring tens of thousands of visitors.

Well, of course that's good advice. But imagine being an administrator of a program and actually needing this advice -- not knowing that there's an alternative to permanently canceling a program.

CNN FAKE NEWS

This man has the weakest facial hair. Someone stop him, please.

Yeah, smart people know it's smart for kids to be in school whenever it is possible.
