Good Lifestyle

Although you were trying to enjoy your summer better than you can, all eyes are in the fall and that schools are proven or not schools.President Donald Trump yesterdayDirectorate of the CDC Guidelines for CDC Reopening Schools, calling "difficult, costly and impassable" and the Agency indicates new guidelines will be published next week. But Mr. Jeffrey Koplan, former director of disease control and prevention centers, and now Vice President of World Health at Emory University, saidNPRthat sacrificing public health measures could be disastrous. Here's why, in his words.

On if the schools open this fall

"Well, they can not have any sense in the context of what's going on in the community around them. So, in the sites where the disease is uncontrollable, it increases with a considerable velocity, then the local health authorities And the educational authorities have to work together and decide, is this achievable and how much risk or danger are students placing students returning to school? Do not worry that the public health community is Extraordinarily eager to review students at school for a wide range of problems, such as pediatricians and school leaders. But a key element of it is the warning, provided you take care of the health children and pay attention to risks and mitigating these risks in schools. "

On the rules of the CDC being "hard, expensive and impassable"

"I guess you can make a dispute of anything, but ... See if the school is ready to protect children with other diseases, deficiters, and cetera, the ability to separate students from and employees when they arrive at work by symptoms. These unrealistic. They are not difficult. And they are not expensive. To use them as a basis for rejecting these guidelines, it's absurd. The Current Plan recommends standard mitigation procedures - health and safety issues facing hygiene, fabric masks, cleaning of the room. These are things we have been talking about for some time, and refer to These as expensive, how can they be too expensive? We chose to spend our airline funding. "

On the CDC vs. President

"Usually, this can be addressed by discussions, paying particular attention to the people who worked there and have an experience with her. When the expertise of the CDC is ignored, as we have seen in the commemorative day of activities and attenuation activities and then we see the follow-up of a marked increase in cases and hospitalizations, it is necessary to do Attention to the public health community and the CDC in particular. And obviously that there is a struggle in this direction. In my 30 years of being intimately involved in the agency, there are times when there is a disagreement, but never such a level of public discord, which is actually embarrassing to control the epidemic. This leaves the public saying, well, who let's listen to us? And who is right. Why are these instructions fragmented? They should not be as important if people have an opinion as different on it. And certainly in my experience over the years, if we are in different positions, this could be developed in advance. "

On the congress does not provide funding

"Well, if the person criticized these changes and has not been advocated for public health measures, EUH, which makes the Congress difficult and the General Management to come to certain agreements on this subject. In the meantime, the epidemic is getting worse on the day of the day. "
