Full blown wedding reception indoors, no masks, at an event space this weekend on Mission Bay. Just got notice our practice is cancelled due to a possible player Covid case. Mom has Covid, but kid tested negative and hasn't been at practice since the 17th. Club is being super cautious and mentioned that practice is likely canceled for week.

Dr. Flip Flop: A timeline of Fauci's school reopening positions
Early on, Fauci was "blessing" school closures and attacking proponents of reopening. He now claims to have supported reopening the whole time.

School closures -> less education -> lower income -> shorter life. Each step has been accepted as showing strong correlation , but none of those correlations were established in times like the current situation
Here's a similar argument --
Moose can't fly and goose sounds like moose, so goose can't fly.

You can pass this up to your source - coocoo.
Fair criticism. Not my study and like many of these on the other side that engage in hyperbole, I tend to view with skepticism. Still, an interesting point...even if the numbers aren't correct. It raises interesting questions like the tradeoff in lives we are making for the young v the lives of the old.
I just quoted CNN as a source too...doesn't matter to me where it comes from, do you refute the timeline he's raised?
It wasn't CNN that snipped out quotes from Dr. Fauci to please the gullible.
So the answer to my question is no.
Reading comprehension?
Covid-19 Likely in U.S. in Mid-December 2019, CDC Scientists Report
The new coronavirus infected people in the U.S. in mid-December 2019, a few weeks before it was officially identified in China and about a month earlier than public health authorities found the first U.S. case, according to a government study.

I like Fauci and he is a brilliant immunologist but he got in way for his head. He's a lab guy, and is not an overall health policy expert and certainly not a big picture guy. An asset for the task force but never should have been the lead figurehead. Was not savvy enough as an interviewee and painted himself into a corner way too many times with less than circumspect answers. Bright but naive.Dr. Flip Flop: A timeline of Fauci's school reopening positions

BTW he was on the Chris Coumo show last week and Fauci was in favor of schools being open at the goading of Cuomo who apparently is a big proponent of school reopenings. Interestingly enough, CNN deleted that part of the interview with Fauci on their website.

This surprises NOBODY who has an ounce of common sense. So, is there any chance of lawsuits over this? Newsome ought to at least get the CA taxpayers back their billion dollars he spent on Chinese masks.

When policy and science are aligned, I’ll support actions taken. All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. Which ‘best world’ expresses your world view will color the conversation... for me, it’s the kids.
Demographers put COVID-19 death toll into perspective
With over 170,000 COVID-19 deaths to date, and 1,000 more each day, America's life expectancy may appear to be plummeting. But in estimating the magnitude of the pandemic, demographers have found that COVID-19 is likely to shorten the average US lifespan in 2020 by only about a year.

It's straight up criminal that kids aren't back in school. I understood (but didn't agree with) online learning last spring, but the fact the kids didn't return in fall with all the overwhelming evidence supporting it is just political. F%&k the unions.Cal on demographics and COVID deaths:

The stats have been there from day one regarding younger people.
They have no risk. It also turns out school are not spreading events either as many in the news and here have long predicted.
As of today on the CDC website they show a TOTAL of 515 deaths in the US of people 24 and under.
And we shut down schools because of that number?
We shut down colleges and college sports?
We have people on these boards wondering if it is safe for their kids to go play soccer, to hang out with friends, etc?
By the way...in that age group 24 and under so far this year there have been about 50k deaths from other illness, accidents, etc. That happens year after year. With that stat we just say OK so? And move on with our lives. And yet with 500 or so deaths a substantial portion of our population thinks not going to school is a rational and good idea.
