Oh Boy! Illinois Planning Full Reopening of Schools [View all]

[ProfessorGAC]

We're clearly on the downside of the peak with cases, despite very high daily test #s. Deaths per day are half or less what they were a month ago. Hospital bed usage way down, along with ICU occupancy & ventilator usage.
But, the full, in-person reopening of schools is encouraged, but definitely not mandated.
As a winter time sub, I don't know about this. Required masks or not.
As the only state that met all 5 CDC cretieria before phase 3, Illinois has been very cautious & methodical.
This seems like a "too much, too soon" action, to me.
