There is NO debate about whether COVID spreads in schools. This CDC report definitively shows where the outbreaks are occurring and K12 schools are a major source. The only places where outbreaks have occurred with greater frequency are correctional facilities, colleges and universities, and long term care facilities. In other words, places where lots of people gather in a small space for long periods of time with poor ventilation. This is the very definition of schools. This is why we must #StayVirtualStaySafe until the surrounding community is vaccinated and the spread of infection is controlled. #demandsafeschools
