"It is certainly time for us to open up schools," given the low Covid case rate, Dr. Jean Noble tells @mehdirhasan. Epidemiologist @dgurdasani1 disagrees, saying sunny data misses asymptomatic carriers: "We find that there is significant transmission happening within schools."

Safety protocols in many areas are not being followed. There is also a real concern that many localities are not being transparent with identified cases or flat out refuse to do the contact tracing at all. usatoday.com/story/news/educ…

I’m worried if we reopen schools because infection rates are low they’re just gonna spike and we will have to shut down again. Why not wait and make sure it’s declining for a longer time? Yes it’s important to reopen but it’s also important to not jump start the pandemic again.
