Dr. Siegel: Why Is CDC Moving the Goal Posts with Science When It Comes To Reopening Schools?

RUSH EXCERPT:

SIEGEL: “I did. This is what I figure out. You and I coined a term a year ago follow the science. We were among the first to say it. Now everybody says it. You know what it means? The code word for the political expediency. Follow the science if it’s what you want it to say and you are not fighting the teachers union. Then sacrosanct. But if they push too hard say it’s recommendation. Only a guideline. But this is what it says. Outbreaks do occur in school studies multiple studies have known transition in the school setting lower than or similar to the level of community transmission. The C.D.C. In the same guideline is clear. Kids don’t get sick often. They don’t transmit it to teachers. They have mild cases. The schools need to be open. Why is this political expediency occurring and why is the C.D.C. Moving the medical goal posts and hyper focusing in on the so-called red Zones? Where there is more community spread when we just read it doesn’t spread to school more than the community? I went to medical school. You keep it simple in medical school. I follow two “o”s. Do no harm. The second look at the patient as a fellow creature in pain. When I see kids hunkered down in front of the computer screens, eyes growing red unhappy I see a creature in pain. I see kids together in a school with the partners and with their pals playing a sport, maybe, exercising, smiling, seeing the teachers. Tucker, that is the cure, tucker.”
