1/ . @GovofCO @CDPHE @TCHDHealth Here& #39;s the thing about high school students. They aren& #39;t stupid, and they have a unique ability to see through things (and people) that are fake or insincere. If junk science social distancing rules are imposed on them in school in August...

2/...they will look at their school leaders like they are crazy. They know the data suggests that they aren& #39;t at any greater risk from Covid than getting struck by lightning, and they will act accordingly. Schools will be forced to try and enforce those rules sheepishly...

3/...much like police are having to do. It will be non-stop all day: "sorry, this is dumb, but you can& #39;t hug your friend who you just hung out with all summer doing whatever you wanted." All credibility is shot. Rules have to have value...

4/...and high school kids (who generally like accountability) can sniff out lack of value from a mile away.
