Fauci has officially turned into the Head Coach that gets tuned out. There are of course a myriad of reasons for this, some of which have nothing to do with his statements/posture at all, but he certainly has not helped himself in that respect.
It's behind a paywall (WSJ) but had a really long piece few weeks back on how 'open' schools have operated in class since last August and was quite good on the subject of what they have learned. Some really good candor and takes on the 'pods' (something my kids' schools do) and how effective they've been towards really mitigating large scale shut down of classes, how the early pre-occupation with cleaning surfaces and such are superfluous, lunch time being a higher risk environment compared to in classroom. Teachers/admin being more susceptible to spread at the three schools which were subject of story. Teachers lounges being a bad spot.
Happy to see email from our Elementary/middle school district declaring intentions of remaining full on open again this fall. Curious to see how the 12-15 vaccine plans play out. Our local high school hasn't committed yet (currently in a hybrid mode) which has such mixed views. Kids mostly like it, parents really sick of it, with some exception (neighbor mom says her daughter is learning how to manage time like a college kid).
