Fauci: Duration of School Shutdown Is Something that Is Questionable

EXCERPT:

FAUCI: “The question is, how long should a shutdown have been? And I think that there's varying degrees of differences in that. And I agree that I, if you look back at the things that I've said back then, we should try as best as possible to keep the schools open and the schools that are closed to get them open safely, by any a number of means, including increasing the ventilation in schools, making sure that the people around the children are properly vaccinated. So, I agree. I mean, there was a point where we had a shutdown, but the duration of the shutdown is something that is questionable. And I think people, rather appropriately, should be examining of whether or not things should have been shut down for so long. But the initial shutting down was something that really had to have been done, Michael, because we were in desperate situations then."
