How bad is it?
If I was to write this as a satire I’d have to put the word “satire” in bold lest readers think it was true.
Update: Polecat’s comment led me to change the title from “army” to ICE. Their cold-hearted thugs have had practice in dragging terrified children away from their parents. They’d be better suited for this odious job than the army
Just saying.

A rather snarky quote from Alexandra Petri’s OpEd in The Washington Post “We can’t wait for schools to reopen safely!”
So far, we don’t really have data showing that children are major carriers of the virus. Is this the same as, “There is data showing that children are NOT major carriers of the virus”? No, but — the fact that so many people can’t tell the difference just shows why being back at school is so crucial!
So will there be testing? Of course there will be! It’s a school! Probably there will also be essays and pop quizzes!
And is the CDC going to change its guidelines now that the president is upset that they are too detailed? Again, these guidelines are not binding! You can just do whatever. If you think it is too onerous to do what the CDC suggests is necessary in order to be safe, then simply do not do it! Also, yes.
