Schools throughout the United States should decide how and when to reopen according to the regional dynamics of the pandemic, rather than waiting for a vaccine to become available, said Dr. Anthony Fauci during his testimony before a Senate committee Tuesday.
“The idea of having treatments available or a vaccine to facilitate the reentry of students in the fall would be something of a bridge too far,” Fauci, infectious disease expert and member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, told the leaders of Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee at a hearing titled “Safely Getting Back to Work and Back to School” via video conference. Fauci is undergoing self-quarantine after a White House staffer tested positive for COVID-19, the disease the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus causes.
