“...has dramatically worsened...”
What’s worsened? Data collection and fraud?
The virus has merely shifted to other states as we are a big nation and it didn’t hit all at once.
Here is the crisis: go a google search and check for the reopening plans for K-12 schools in random districts, and colleges, all around the US: try eastern WA, try Charolotte NC, try Pasadena CA. And check both public and private. And compare last week’s plans to this week’s plans. More and more are moving from full time to “hybrid” (2 days a week) or “remote” “distance learning” which is zero learning.
The looming crisis is not the virus but an educational crisis from K-college. The rest of the Western world (and Asia too) has reopened schools fully. We are moving the opposite way. . .even those districts who want to reopen are being sued.
