CDC Head: ‘We Need a Lot More Resources in Order to Get the Schools Safe’

 

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention director Rochelle Walensky said on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” that to get children back to school amid the coronavirus pandemic, “a lot more resources” are needed.

 

Anchor Chris Wallace said, “So you’ve talked repeatedly here about mitigation enter guidelines depend on schools spending money to make the environment inside the classroom, inside the building more safe. But I want to put this up on the screen as part of his COVID relief bill. The president wants $130 billion for those improvements to schools. But having said that, Congress has already approved $68 billion, and so far as school districts have only spent 4 billion of that 68 billion. Isn’t the $64 billion that’s still in the pipeline, enough money maybe not to solve all the problems but to get a lot more kids back to school?”

 

Walensky said, “These need space, they need to de-densify their classrooms, they need staffing, they need nurses, another layer of mitigation would be school screening to keep folks safe even after vaccination. So I think we need a lot more resources in order to get the schools safe. If one of the things that’s really been emphasized in the school reopening is how unsafe some of our school ventilation systems are. That’s a problem not just for SARS-CoV-2 but for other respiratory viruses, for children with asthma, for exposure to mold. I think that there’s a lot of work that we need to do in order to get our children, our schools’ safe environment.”

 

As CNN reported: “Biden’s pledge to reopen most American schools within his first 100 days in office is in danger of going off the rails as teachers’ unions hold firm on their demands for new safety measures amid conflicting messages from the administration and public health leaders.”

Demand For Used Private Jets Takes Off During Pandemic

 

In a troubling sign that economic inequality continues to widen in the pandemic recession and recovery, the luxury-jet market is taking off as millions of working-poor Americans face food and housing insecurities.

 

The Federal Reserve's wealth effect of boosting stocks and housing prices, along with shifting travel trends due to the pandemic, has not just produced a "K-shaped" recovery for the rich but also allowed them to splurge on used private jets.

 

Credit Suisse Group AG, BNP Paribas SA, and other bankers told Bloomberg that used private jet demand in the second half of 2020 increased. Momentum in the market is expected to roll into 2021 as vaccination efforts drive corporate demand.

 

Werner Slavik, chief of aviation for the equipment-finance unit of Societe Generale SA, told attendees at a virtual Corporate Jet Investor conference last week that "the smaller jet market has strong demand." He was surprised that 2020 was a "very good year."

 

Bankers said international travel restrictions had reduced the need for larger corporate jets. They reported an increase in first-time purchasers at the lower end of the market.

 

Virtual meetings and remote working for white-collar workers have reduced the need for business travel and private jet demand, though leisure travel among the wealthy using private jets surged. U.S. business-jet flight operations plunged by nearly a quarter last year.

 

More on the shifting travel trends is Airbnb Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky who told Reuters last month domestic travel trends will never be going back to the way it was before the virus pandemic. He said business travel is shifting to leisure travel because technologies like Zoom can make teleconferencing possible.

 

A JETNET iQ Market Report showed used private jet sales rose slightly in 2020 from the previous year to 2,598 transactions.

Ron DeSantis slams 'lockdowner' Joe Biden for COVID hypocrisy over immigration: 'This stinks to high heaven'

 

'Florida is a free state where kids stay in school, home construction is up, home sales are up'

 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis bashed President Joe Biden for his coronavirus hypocrisy regarding a potential domestic travel ban while simultaneously welcoming untested immigrants at the U.S. southern border.

 

Last week, there was a Miami Herald report circulating that claimed the Biden administration was considering enacting domestic travel restrictions to states with highly-contagious new variants of COVID-19. Reportedly at the top of the list was Florida because the state had the most cases.

 

DeSantis ripped Biden's double standard on COVID-19, said it "stinks to high heaven" during an appearance on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo."

 

DeSantis compared Biden's potential domestic travel ban with the president's lax immigration policies, "It is a huge contradiction and you can't square wanting opening borders for illegal aliens, but then also restricting U.S. citizens from basically traveling around the country as they see fit and I think the American people see the hypocrisy in that."

 

"Of course they're not being screened for COVID at the southern border because this is all political," DeSantis said on Sunday. "So he's [Biden's] opening the border [and] he's letting illegals pour in. They're not doing any COVID tests. They're [migrants are] just coming into the communities."

 

"Yet, he wants to potentially make you take a test if you just get on an airplane and fly from one American city to the next," the Republican governor stated. "Or he wants to prevent travel to the state of Florida."

 

The New York Times reported earlier this month that migrants entering the United States through Texas are not tested for coronavirus, and do not face any quarantine requirements as long as they "arrive with no coronavirus symptoms." "At least 1,000 migrants have been allowed to cross into Texas in recent days," the Feb. 6 article read.

 

In addition, there have been "more than 1,000 people who had been detained after crossing have been released into the country in recent days."

 

"Many more people are gathering on the Mexican side, aggravating conditions there and testing America's ability and willingness to admit migrants during a pandemic," the article added.
