Prop Wash is on to me, but hopefully Best Friends indulges.

It reads very clear to me.

quote:


In elementary schools, CDC recommends all students remain at least 3 feet apart in classrooms where mask use is universal — regardless of whether community transmission is low, moderate, substantial, or high.

In middle and high schools, CDC also recommends students should be at least 3 feet apart in classrooms where mask use is universal and in communities where transmission is low, moderate, or substantial.
Middle school students and high school students should be at least 6 feet apart in communities where transmission is high, if cohorting is not possible. Cohorting is when groups of students are kept together with the same peers and staff throughout the school day to reduce the risk for spread throughout the school. This recommendation is because COVID-19 transmission dynamics are different in older students – that is, they are more likely to be exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and spread it than younger children.

.

Now in turn, I would love it if someone explained to me how a teacher in a class full of kids is supposed to stay 6 feet from their kids. A pretty stunning number of posters here apparently went to schools with extremely large classrooms with extremely low energy classmates.

It's only difficult to read if you're trying very hard to believe that it does not say any of that, or that it is not issued as a license to open up the schools. Cause the schools sure are reading it that way. Much like how 1400=2000, having to argue something means he opposite of what it clearly does can lead to a lot of anger.

'In turn' is used for when you do something first. What I asked for is what should the statement say. Not can you read it--not how it should be read, but how it should read. This is an idiomatic use of language that probably falters when written without audible emphasis on the tendr, and therefore vague. Sorry for that. What I meant was, what should they have written instead?

They should not have issued guidance that is literally impossible to follow imo. Posting impossible instructions only makes sense as a green light, especially in a context where governors, the president and the arrayed upper middle class PTA parents are demanding reopening.

Certain special education settings with very low teacher to student to space ratios. School districts willing to enforce and remove violators of policy.

The real school mews is related to this (tl;dr risk of depriving children of public education is worse than risk of operating schools with universal adherence to PPE and distancing rules):

“The revision was spurred by some new research, including a study published March 10 in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, which looked at schools in Massachusetts, where districts were given a choice of distancing students either 6 or 3 feet apart, and where the majority of districts also required universal masking. The study included more than a half-million students who attended school in person last fall.

"We didn't see any substantial difference in cases among students or staff in districts with 3 feet versus 6 feet, suggesting that we can open the schools safely at 3 feet, provided that some of the mitigation measures that were present here in Massachusetts are in place," said Westyn Branch-Elliman, a co-author of the study and an infectious diseases specialist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. "Our study adds to a growing body of worldwide data about the safety of 3 feet in school settings."

The World Health Organization already recommended that schools distance children 1 meter apart (3.3 feet). The American Academy of Pediatrics, meanwhile, has been warning that "in many school settings, 6 feet between students is not feasible without drastically limiting the number of students." As a result, the group has advised flexibility, telling school leaders to "weigh the benefits of strict adherence to a 6-feet spacing rule between students with the potential downside if remote learning is the only alternative."

“Idiot King”, originally. Maybe there’s a more polite back-derivation now.

They have moderator buttons to put posters on probation, rename threads, and the other things, but they can’t see reports or the moderator forum.

I think they’re limited to six‐hour probations, but it might be more now.

So Gaetz’s plan to respond to an allegation of trafficking a minor is to call a 17 year old a woman and then switch up saying she doesn’t exist with saying a 17 year old with whom he has traveled doesn’t exist while also saying Tucker Carlson met her and also also saying he double trickshot nailed the DOJ via the FBI?

What the fuuuuck?

And part of the Gaetz is defense is to go on record saying he buys his dates good gifts?

This guy may be dumb.

You keep getting mad at the CDC instead of, idk, the state or the politicians who kept things open instead of providing money and assistance.
