Deborah Birx Won't Say That Schools With High Positive Test Rates Should Stay Closed

https://www.politicususa.com/2020/08/02/deborah-birx-schools-virus.html

Trump coronavirus coordinator Dr. Deborah Birx refused to say that schools should stay closed if they have a high positive test rate.

Dana Bash asked on CNN’s State Of The Union, “Should schools in areas with a positive iterate of 5% or more remain closed and have distance learning only?”

Birx answered, “So as you described at the beginning, I am the coordinator. So I work with Dr. Redfield and Dr. Fauci and Dr. Hahn and others every single day and we go over the data together. I would endorse what Dr. Redfield is saying. In these areas where we have the widespread case increases, we need to stop the cases.”

Bash asked again, “Schools there should stay closed?”

Birx, “Safely reopening.”

Bash kept asking, “So schools there should stay closed?”
