Well, Trump did say that it would go away one day, like magic.
Didn't think this power grab for hospital data was going to be that magic though.

What I don't understand is why they're forcing schools to re-open instead of holding classes online?
If I was a kid and lived in USA, I would 100% refuse to go to school during this pandemic.

My high school looks like this during passing periods/lunch/etc. Is opening schools really a good idea? pic.twitter.com/JPPFPMtA4e

I think that's more Betsy DeVos's doing. After all, her family owns schools who would not make earnings if the students learn from home instead. She also has a history of supporting the worst and most dysfunctional kind of charter schools and the like, so doing this is right up her alley.
