I hear it works.

[LuFins Dad]

Wow! 13 died from a disease that normally takes 4 weeks to kill and the kids have only been back for 2 weeks? Those masks they were required to wear must have made the COVID worse…

[LuFins Dad]

Oh wait, 13 have died since mid-August and the kids have been back since late August…Hmmm, maybe it wasn’t the kids?

Nice graph.

Now, can you extrapolate the data to single out cases transmitted within the public school system?

That wasn't the point of my posting the graph. The point was, Florida's going through a rough patch right now, and cherry-picking over school infections isn't going to change that.
