Reopened schools in Europe and Asia have largely avoided coronavirus outbreaks
- cecja 6y agoBREAKING. Countries with a low or nearly 0 daily infection rate have no problem returning to normal life. BREAKING.
- eumenides1 6y agoOn a scale level, it looks like nearly zero when comparing America vs the western world. America should definitely not open But for the individual countries, it's something important. At what time/point/infection rate/daily infection rate is it OK? The answer is unknown, but looking at other countries opening up is making my non American country idea of opening up more comfortable.
- djaque 6y agoThe article is put in the context of the US reopening schools, but there's nothing comparable about the two situations. As far as I can tell, European countries have orders of magnitude fewer cases per million people than the US [1]. Additionally those countries have a comprehensive federal response which is lacking in the US. We're still debating mask wearing as a political issue and now hospitals are being told to report information on the pandemic to a potentially politically motivated organization instead of the CDC [2].
