Florida students head back to class amid reports of more kids catching COVID-19

It was back to school for thousands of Florida students Monday while President Donald Trump's new pandemic adviser dismissed teachers' and parents' COVID-19 concerns as "hysterical" amid reports of a big jump in the number of kids who have tested positive in districts that resumed in-person instruction.
"We are the only country of our peer nations in the Western world who are this hysterical about opening schools," the adviser, Dr. Scott Atlas, said as he pressed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his advisers to reopen schools as quickly as possible.
Atlas pushed DeSantis on the issue during a roundtable discussion held in Tallahassee on Monday. The number of confirmed cases in Florida climbed over the weekend to 620,000 and the number of deaths eclipsed 11,200, making it one of the hardest-hit states in the country, the latest NBC News figures showed.
Meanwhile, COVID-19 cases in children jumped by more than 23 percent with about 9,200 new infections in the last two-plus weeks, according to news reports citing Florida Department of Health data. Most of the new cases were teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17.

Trump finally found a non-demon sperm promoting doctor to push the idea of a rapid reopening and less testing in Dr. Scott Atlas, who is not an immunology specialist. So, I guess in about three weeks we will see how Trump COVID Response 4.0 is working with Trump's new favorite health care "expert" pushing for reopening as fast as possible ... again.
Yup, lets reset back to June before Texas and Florida exploded and demand rapid re-openings to try to kickstart Trump's campaign.
