@EpiEllie Can we get an update on this? https://t.co/CHpgfv2tLS

@rwidome I honestly cannot imagine that it wont spread in schools given that no one seems to be doing anything to stop the spread. I do not at all understand how people can say otherwise. Unless they think men who have sex with men are never parents? Or they do not understand transmission

@ebennett74 @AmerAcadPeds @AAPPres To be fair, we don’t know the details of what Covid protocols were followed. They have have used masks + distancing to be #safe

@JenniferSey It was just a totally random coincidence that places which generate large amounts of tax revenue were safe and those that did not were dangerous.

@DanAncona @mattyglesias Lots of those people were adults without kids in public schools.

It’s 2024 and we are still freaking out when people with Covid exercise outside.

@fawfulfan lol when my kids school closed there had been ten covid cases and no hospitalizations in our county. The closures had absolutely nothing to do with teachers being too sick to go to work.

@NoLayingUp Windham Clark is in second place, and he’s closer to me than to Scheffler.

@lymanstoneky That dotted line is a work of art.

@nycexpatmom Weird for him to show much disdain for a group he used to be a part of (children)

Unsolicited gambling advice: Go bet on Scottie in each major now. He’s probably going to be even money for the PGA tomorrow.

@KylePorterCBS Dustin Johnson lost to two guys in their sixties and every amateur in the field.

@chris_girard13 TV is too small. Should have spent less on the fancy furniture and gotten a bigger tv.

@EpiEllie How sure were you that forcing kindergarteners to wear masks wouldn’t impede learning and communication?

[Dr. Polar Bear, Ph. D @PunditPandemic]

@eilise Wow this is very sciencey.
