FAUCI CRITICIZED
In Washington, a reaction divided by a pandemic has spread to the public, with industry adviser Peter Navarro criticizing Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease specialist. Fauci called the complaint “absurd” and “a little strange.” Trump intervened to arbitrate by saying “we’re all on the same team.”
“He commented on his representative. I shouldn’t do that,” Trump said of Navarro as he talked to reporters before leaving the White House for a time in Georgia.
Trump rebuked Navarro on Wednesday for the opinion piece, titled “Anthony Fauci was wrong about everything I interacted with him,” and the White House issued a statement saying the article was not authorized. Fauci told The Atlantic that “I can’t explain to Peter Navarro” and that “he’s in a world through himself.”
White House officials told reporters anonymously that Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was “fully compromised” and found that Navarro’s habit was “unacceptable.”

Navarro apologized to Meadows on Wednesday morning, to a senior administrative officer. Navarro had asked permission to write the editorial, and had written it anyway after being rejected, from two officials.
“Peter Navarro or editorial or anything they need to classify as an independent action that was a violation of well-established protocols that was not bratly or secretly supported through anyone in the West Wing,” Meadows told journalists traveling with the president. Georgia.
The White House declined to say that on Wednesday Navarro would be punished in some way.
Navarro, China’s hard economist with no public fitness skills, responded to a request for comment.
I faucied his situation in a series of interviews with The Atlantic this week.
When asked about the attacks introduced against him through anonymous White House officials, Fauci said that “he cannot perceive in my wildest dreams why they would have to do that. I think now they realize it wasn’t a prudent thing, because it’s just thinking negatively about them.”
As for his relationship with the president, Fauci said he had been replaced over time. While he used to communicate one-on-one with Trump, Fauci said, “I haven’t done it in a long time. But one day it doesn’t happen without me being in touch with Debbie Birx, Bob Redfield or Steve Hahn and others, ” he said, referring to other members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. “My contribution to the president is going through the vice president. But clearly, the vice president, literally every day, listens to what we have to say, there’s no doubt about it.”
Indeed, on a crusade with reporters, Vice President Mike Pence came to the Defense of the Fauci, calling him “an esteemed member of the White House Coronavrius Working Group.”
“We have just finished our last assembly and we couldn’t be more grateful for your normal recommendation as we continue to meet with this moment with a pan-American approach to the entire government,” Pence said.

TIPS AND SCHOOLS
The country’s states have reported alarming spikes in cases, even when officials in some states have complex plans to reopen schools in the fall. Kansas and Missouri reported on 900 new cases, a trend that the head of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment called “terrible.” Montana also reported a record number of new cases shown.
At least 3 dozen academics from the best schools in northern Illinois tested positive for coronavirus after some participants in summer sports camps developed symptoms of the disease.
The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine said Wednesday that school districts should “prioritize” the reopening of schools, especially for K-5 students and students with special needs, yet the federal government and states will have to provide new “substantial” investment to school districts. Help.
Written through the K-12 Committee of Advisory Academies on the reaction to Covid-19, the consultant says there is no way to “completely risk” the spread of the virus. He argues that mitigation efforts can be effective, but warns that entrenched economic and social inequalities can be exacerbated if the reopening is carried out without sufficient guarantees.
He also says there can be serious consequences for young people if they do not return to school after the last months of the 2019-2020 school year at home when their schools closed due to the pandemic.
“The dangers of not having face-to-face learning are the main ones for young children, who would possibly suffer long-term educational consequences if they fall in the early years,” and for academics with special needs, the report says. He also says that “the collective trauma of the pandemic does not deserve to be underestimated.”
“Especially in the communities most affected by Covid-19, young people may have suffered excessive illness or the deaths of several close relatives, even when their families and communities face serious economic setbacks,” the report says.
“While it is not a component of the committee’s duty to explain how schoolchildren and families deal with this trauma, we stress the importance of making this type of support reaction a priority. These efforts will want to come with school counselors and other specialists. staff and teachers.”
SAFETY TAB
As school districts across the country how and when they can safely bring students back to campus, a major problem arises: the money to get there.
Maintaining public schools for 50 million academics and more than 7 million coronavirus employees will likely require more teachers and substitutes, nurses and caregivers. School districts will want to locate more buses to allow more space among young people and buy more computers for distance learning. They’ll want to buy disinfectant, mask and other protective equipment. Some install plastic dividers in offices and classrooms.
The State School Boards of Directors say the reopening of public schools can charge between $158 billion and $245 billion, while the American Federation of Teachers estimates the figure at $116.5 billion.
“If you don’t have that money, how are you going to pay [the protective equipment]? How is it going to go blank every day?” Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, a primary union, asked. “That’s why you’re going to see more and more districts, even when they don’t have sudden increases in strength, staying with distance education.”
For schools in many states, the best reopening prices are just one aspect of the coin. Government tax collection plummeted when much of the economy closed in the spring. This has had a domino effect on school funding, maximum of the state budget.
Coronavirus attendance will be the high-profile maximum item in the time table when Congress returns next week, adding the amount of cash to be made for school districts.
Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, investment for education would be a priority.
