They are learning more and more everyday. I think they deserve a break for not being 100% correct immediately but erring on the side of caution. Early on, people were panic buying masks and screwing up the PPE supply needed by medical facilities. A message needed to be spread to the masses to ensure that there would be enough masks upfront to ensure medical professionals would have adequate supply. This message was taken of context to mean all masks are absolutely useless. The CDC has also been oddly quiet during this pandemic compared to prior pandemics. It is no new fact that a virus spreads faster through the air than through touching surfaces. The CDC explicitly stated their assumptions of this for COVID on their website in March and April. They knew of how long the virus sticks to a surface first, they now have better proof of the odds of transmission and infection from such surfaces. Some outlets paint reporting new information somehow as a misinformation campaign by the CDC.
GeauxSioux Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Piece regarding CDC recommendations for schools. Kids and Teachers Are Going to Need Therapy if Schools Follow the CDC's Recommendations for Classrooms Quote Wear masks if over the age of two Discourage sharing of items or supplies that can’t be easily cleaned between uses Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces between uses Develop a schedule for increased, routine cleaning and disinfection All belongings separated into individual cubbies or labeled containers Avoid sharing electronic devices, toys, games, or learning aids Desks should be 6-feet apart and all facing the same direction One child per seat on school buses and skip rows between riders Install sneeze guards or partitions where 6-feet-apart won’t work One-way routes in hallways Tape on sidewalks and walls to ensure kids stay 6 feet apart Close shared spaces like cafeterias and playgrounds Physical barriers or screens between sinks in bathrooms Children either bring their own meals or serve individually plated meals in the classroom Kids eat lunch in classrooms Virtual events in lieu of field trips The same children stay with the same staff all-day Avoid switching groups or teachers Stagger student arrival and departure times to limit crowds of kids Limit non-essential volunteers and visitors If possible, daily health and temperature checks Source from CDC Glad we homeschool our kids.

I get erring on the side of caution, and learning as days go on, but those are complete 180 flips. I suspect they were afraid to say “I don’t know” when they didn’t know and just took a SWAG at it. 3

Most of this list is unrealistic for the reality of school buildings/classroom staffing/classroom sizes/etc. 2
Popular Post UND1983 Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Posted May 25, 2020 Was fascinated by the Forum article about all the small town MN people worried about ND people and their 50+ infections a day coming to their lake community. Where's the article about all these MN people coming from a state with 800+ infections a day to shop in Fargo and Grand Forks? Seems like we should be a hell of alot more we worried about them coming here, if we are going to generalize. 12

The Sicatoka Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 3 hours ago, keikla said: This is probably pretty accurate. I wonder what effect the CDC saying "I don't know" in the early days would have had on the stock market, general anxiety, panic buying, etc.. Would everything that happened just have happened earlier? I'm not saying that to be facetious or contrary; I just think for the CDC to say something like that could have huge implications. The alternative to admitting uncertainty, as we've seen, is that most people have completely lost any trust in the organization. Being afraid to say “I don’t know” is the curse of the “expert”. 4
