Dr Brix didn't answer the question!!

[angrychair]

Basically, she was asked about a child's ability to expose older people to COVID in regards to going back to school.

Her answer was, essentially, that they don't know and she went off on a tangent about spit testing. All while also admitting that kids can have COVID and be asymptomatic.

They are demanding kids go back to school without a understanding of the risks involved for teachers and other adults involved in the school system.

[soothsayer]

1. Yep

[Jersey Devil]

2. yes, and even with respect to the spit testing

she admitted they still haven't figured out the best way to test kids. They want schools to be reopened but are not ready to test the kids.

3. They also don't know the long term effect of CV19 on kids that get sick with it.

I don't have any school age children, but if I did, they wouldn't be going back to school until I felt confident that they could attend classes without becoming exposed to the virus.

4. Boy, I can't wait for fall. If I get another school job, every day will be a crapshoot.

5. she went to the dark side pretty quick. her career over truth and safety.

[Sewa]

7. I'm sick of seeing people defend her

She thinks her seat at the big table is more important than saving lives.

11. me too. she's a useless tool for trump

[brush]

6. Sad. She has sacrificed her reputation by staying and shilling for trump. Do we really...

think all kids are going to wear their masks all the time, social distance and practice hand hygiene?

Schools are petrie dishes for disease as it is, now trump wants to add covid-19 to that mix.

If this happens we are so screw. This will just prolong this virus crisis for more months, perhaps years until there is a vaccine. It will make Biden's job even harder once we dump trump in Nov.

8. but hey, the 'fashion' face masks...

9. Birx is more or less useless.

She reminds me a lot of Ron Rosenstein--she's smart and actually knows what's right and what's wrong, but hates making waves and is too cowardly to speak out, so she goes along to get along.

10. Yes. Kids bring it home to their parents, parents take it to work, etc....
