The OHA has way too much power. constantly changing how they report data, to being the most inept & non transparent health agency in the country. They have failed us at every turn. I blame the media for letting their ego balloon to a level where they feel above reproach.
All states should pass laws forbidding “remote learning” from counting toward the mandated 180 school days.
You’ll be amazed how quickly districts abandon bogus school closures.
Remote learning ≠ school
It’s Madness to Quarantine Schoolchildren by Leslie Bienen and Eric Happel @citizen_oregon our piece out from wsj. Very eye catching graphic and headline I must say. https://t.co/YqmVEgSU2B
17-year-old Lydia Jacoby becomes the first Olympic gold medal swimmer from Alaska….so her family & friends back home celebrate accordingly.
The Olympics are special.
Does anyone else feel the @cdc should base its school guidance on what scientists, pediatricians, parents recommend & not give most say to teachers' unions? I do.
I was interviewed along with Daniel Benjamin, Peds ID doc at Duke for this article

Why am I talking about end to masks and distancing (some others are not?). Because it is job of a good ID doctor worth their salt to talk about ending mitigation when no longer needed. In HIV, we say End the HIV Epidemic, Getting to Zero, for motivation. Mass vax will end masks
I’ll never forgive the fact that parents of public school kids had to beg for in person for a year. Meanwhile private schools, malls, daycares and casinos have been open. They have done so much damage.
School reopening does not require testing asymptomatic kids
School reopening does not require 6ft of distance
School reopening does not require community transmission to be below some level
School reopening does not require vaccinations
Thank you for attending my TedTalk
Closing schools in March 2020 - IDK tough call
Keeping schools closed Sept 2020 to present - a catastrophic error that should not have happened
Entire departments in universities will study this error
This is my son’s experience of kindergarten for the last 11 1/2 months. Needless to say, pretty joyless. Definitely no love of learning being instilled. Or learning for that matter. He gets this for exactly 2 half hour sessions a day. I’m glad it’s not more.
There are no words to describe the epic failures of @OregonGovBrown and @GavinNewsom. They have abandoned the children of their states, and have NOTHING to back up this decision, other than money from teacher’s unions.#OpenSchoolsNow https://t.co/1oirpycW1s
@OregonGovBrown@VP But you giving vaccines to teachers has only delayed opening, as they have refused to go back at least until they are fully vaccinated, and there is zero guarantee they will choose to go back even then, as they keep changing the goal posts .
