Good morning. Were less than 60 days away from when most schools would traditionally open, and its becoming a contentious issue from a medical perspective. What needs to be the main consideration in deciding how schools will operate . There are a lot of variables. Number one, by far and away, is how many cases inn iyour area. If youre in an area with dramatically increasing cases, it is difficult to consider opening schools. You need to get the schools ready. You need to be able to social distance. You need normalize wearing a mask. I cant say that enough. Kids will have to wear a mask in school. You may have to change some of your class time so that you can have fewer kids in the class to social distance. But it takes resources, and we have to work on it now in preparation for september. We saw a lot of surge this week in the case numbers. Then the death rate also was lower, it werenasnt surging att level. Dr. Fauci said not too make too much of it, that its a false narrative to make too much of that. How do we put this into perspective . This is a really important point. I think one thats normally misunderstood. First of all, there is a delay from when you get sick to when you die. Then that could be up to a fourweek delay from when you die to the death certificate being registered at the federal and state level. Thats a big delay. Number two is were Getting Better at treating cases. So the hospitalization rate is going down. Number of people who get off a ventilator is much, much higher. The people who are younger get it, and were testing more. Thats four things are the reason for the change in the death rate. Weve seen a number of states that experienced surges, either pause reopenings or, in some cases, take a step back. Realizing its one nation with sort of 50 different policies now. How should states handle their reopenings moving forward . Thats whats difficult. No matter where you are different places have different policies. And so the key is behavior. If people are wearing a mask and social distancing, cases will go down. If theyre not, they wont. And so sometimes you have to enact stricter rules in order to make that happen. Closing bars, closing places where people can get together, and where the virus can spread. And so mayors, governors, have to step up and be aggressive here. We have to normalize behavior in order that the virus doesnt spread. If we all wear a mask in three weeks, there would be no virus. Its amazing to hear that people still arent wearing a mask, but they are not. The World Health Organization issued a new report talking about how the virus is spreading. Where we learning more about the transmission beyond obviously the wearing of masks . So the majority of spread in this country is droplets, which masks block. There is a virus that can stay in the air. We dont know thats the cause of spread or significant spread at all. But it is something that has taken is taken under advisement. The w. H. O. Says now it definitely is we dont know its causing, but it will be studied. Thats a change in their policy. Its not a major cause of spread right now in the country. Okay, dr.
