Miller-Meeks: Did your experts present to you…CDC published a study on COVID data from March 1, 2020, to July 5th, 2020, which clearly established the low risk to American children. In the analysis, children comprised less than 0.1 percent of hospitalizations, and 0.0005% of associated COVID-19 mortality? Did your experts present that data to you to be able to develop your assessment as to whether or not schools should reopoen.
Weingarten: We saw reports from other countries that showed when you have this layered mitigation, there was much less transmission in schools.
Miller-Meeks: The fact is, schools were relatively safe places for both students and educators, these are scientific questions that a scientific organization should be able to study, and the AFT is not a scientific organization.
