Anthony Fauci:
Obviously, this is a disconcerting problem, because we care so much about our children and their education.
The way I look at it, Judy, quickly, I have, looking at 40,000 feet, a default position. The default position is that you should try, to the best of your ability, with all considerations to the safety and welfare of the children and the teachers, we should try to get the children back to school as best as we possibly can.
With that as the framework, you have got to look throughout the country that the level of infection is different from region to region, state to state, county to county. So there are going to be some counties where there's no problem, take the kids back to school, they're not in danger.
In those areas where it's iffy, where you see that there's a degree of infection, then what some schools will do, short of just shutting down, and some authorities may decide to do that, is to do something with a little bit of creativity, maybe alternating classes, spacing of the desks, for children who can do it, wearing masks, protecting the vulnerable.
So, you can go from one extreme to the other. You have got to say, I'm going to try to open the schools, to the best of my ability. And if there are issues with activity of virus, try to mitigate it by some creative capabilities.
And I think that's what you're seeing, as different states respond to the mandate to open schools.
