New York Times: Internal CDC documents warn full reopening of schools is 'highest risk' for coronavirus spread

Well, no kidding. 'highest risk' - no kidding. Same with going to Disneyland and all the other stupid things that people are currently doing. And meanwhile, the numbers of infected just keep going up and up. And that will be followed by hospitalizations and a lot of deaths.

Oh, and these are internal documents at the CDC, so they are not actually official, but I'll bet the negative outcomes will be the same regardless.

Here's some of the juicy quotes:

Internal documents from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that fully reopening K-12 schools and universities would be the "highest risk" for the spread of coronavirus, according to a New York Times report, as President Donald Trump and his administration push for students and teachers to return in-person to classrooms.
The 69-page document obtained by the Times marked "For Internal Use Only" was among materials for federal public health response teams deployed to coronavirus hotspots to help local public health officials handle the outbreak, the newspaper reported.

The document was circulated this week, the Times reported, as Trump slammed the CDC guidelines around reopening schools and he, Vice President Mike Pence and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos increased their pressure on schools to fully reopen by the fall.

It is unclear whether the President viewed the CDC document, according to the Times.
