Research shows In-person schooling not leading to spike in cases

Our ruling

Gallagher said, "New data shows in-person learning isn't driving spikes in cases."

Indeed, research from an array of sources in October and November show in-person instruction has not been tied to increased cases in those areas.

Key leaders including Fauci have acknowledged classroom instruction caused fewer issues than expected, leading him to support a shift away from virtual learning.

We rate this claim True.

Should we reopen classrooms?

[seanD]

Reopen everything. It's obvious lockdowns do nothing but destroy the economy. But that won't happen apparently.

Seems comments are silent.

It is up to the states and inmost counties to have in person classes or virtual learning. In North Carolina it is up to the counties with recommendations for guide lines from the state.

So, do you believe we should open schools?

My concern is teachers and staff at schools, and spread to homes. I consider the risk to students not significant except for the more vulnerable students. I may respond more.

The TEACHERS UNIONS are not as concerned about the needs of the children as they are their own wants and wishes. "IGNORE THE SCIENCE - we want to get paid to stay home!!!"

Here they whine about the schools being shut down and then they whine again when the schools are reopened.

They are indeed only concerned about themselves.

The science says that reopening schools does not lead to a spike in cases.

[Stoic]

The science says that reopening schools does not lead to a spike in cases.

At this point, in many areas, it's not about whether ti leads to a spike in cases, but whether it leads to any additional cases.

Here in LA County, for example, our hospitals can't really deal with any more cases.

Except that hasn't been the case. As Fauci himself has finally admitted.

I believe that Fauci's citation is incomplete concerning the potential risk of teachers and staff. There is no way that going back to school would be measured in a new spike. The emergency rooms coast to coast are full and over flowing and fatality rate is through roof.

I have not said one way or another on whether person to person learning should continue. I am expressing obvious hazard to teachers and staff. I may cite more reference in the future on this issue.

It would help if the aggressive detractors posting in this thread would simple acknowledge the science and facts concerning the COVID-19 pandemic hospitalizations and fatalities are reasonably accurate. Some sources have proposed that the numbers are underestimated.

• Dr. Fauci and other experts have recommended shifting back to in-person learning in light of the case data and the educational shortcomings of widespread virtual learning.
