TODAY: Covid is spreading more now than in any previous back-to-school season. Families are being thrown to the wolves by #LaissezFairePublicHealth. We need surveillance testing, science-driven isolation policies, guidance for universal high-quality well-fitting masks, air purifiers to reach ASHRAE Standard 241, & updated vaccines yesterday. In absence of those policy-based precautions, families must fend for themselves. The only options/tips are non-universal masking (less effective for kids than adults), getting a vaccine next month, and reducing in-home spread. Dr. Malley is spot on. Reduces family risk, but still very bleak long-term, considering 2 waves annually. This is why my family homeschools, aside from a recent summer camp with universal high-quality masking and ASHRAE Standard air cleaning.
