https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/07/16/892105802/cdc-wont-release-school-guidelines-this-week-as-anticipated?utm_term=nprnews&utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=socialThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will not release a set of documents this week aimed at giving schools advice on how to reopen to students after coronavirus shutdowns, NPR has learned. Instead, the full set will be published before the end of the month, a CDC spokesperson says.
"These science and evidence-based resources and tools will provide additional information for administrators, teachers and staff, parents, caregivers and guardians, as together we work towards the public health-oriented goal of safely opening schools this fall," the spokesperson said.
President Trump has emphasized that he wants to see schools reopen their classrooms in the fall, but many teachers and parents have balked, concerned that children would spread the virus and get sick themselves. Trump complained on Twitter that the CDC's existing guidance was "too tough."
Vice President Pence had said as recently as Tuesday he anticipated guidance would be released later this week to help parents and schools grapple with whether and how to open this fall. Pence had said the CDC would release five new documents, including recommendations on screening for COVID-19 symptoms. The guidance was aimed at augmenting advice the agency released in March about social distancing and preventive measures in schools.

OP
My husband has them. I'm just interested on what they'll do to try and get CDC to fold.

Imagine something coming from CDC saying ignore the science, go back to school!

Who said, "The science should not stand in the way of this", full classrooms five days/week?

Say only online classes are safe.

Sure that's what's behind the "don't let the science stop us from opening schools" schtick they were doing today.

(57,073 posts)3. That's my guess
CDC guidelines were posted here on DU a few days ago. Sorry, I don't have link.

Not that they won't figure out how to totally destroy the CDC.
