The federal government does not decide if NYS schools reopen — the state does.

We will make that decision based on the science and the data.

A decision will be announced in the first week of August.

7. Yep! Trump trashes CDC school reopening guidelines as 'very tough' and 'expensive'

(CNN)President Donald Trump tweeted Wednesday his disagreement with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for safely reopening schools, calling the recommendations "very tough" and "expensive."

He also threatened he "may cut off funding" to schools that do not reopen, though the bulk of public school funding comes from state and local governments.

"I disagree with @CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!" the President tweeted.

The CDC's guidelines encourage hygiene, the use of cloth face coverings, and staying home when appropriate. It also suggests staggered scheduling, a back-up staffing plan, modified seating layouts to allow social distancing, physical barriers and closing of communal spaces.

6. Yep, the last reporter asked the question point blank:

"The concern for re-openings is that the CDC guidelines call for a distance of 6 feet apart, and that's where schools are concerned. They feel they can't keep kids at that distance, and that's why they're considering hybrid models."

And Pence replied, "The president just doesn't want the guidelines to be too tough."

Jesus H. Tap Dancing Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9. We need a reporter with guts to ask why this admin does not care about people's lives.

Every decision they make shows zero regard for protecting human life.

10. The CDC hack pretty much said the same thing

Sickening

that you really believe what you're saying?"
