A great feature on @GinaRaimondo’s leadership in school reopening.

Worth a read to see the encouraging stats and the clear portrait of leadership.

To wit, this.

But please forgive me if I wonder why folks are applauding this as if it’s somehow a major entry by the @nytimes in talking about responsible reopening.

Coming on heels of loud critiques of the @nytimes, after @AlecMacGillis published his gem, it feels...underwhelming.

World: weak NYtimes reporting helped politicize reopening & now kids are suffering!!

NYT: let’s cover the smallest state we can find

NYT has still not covered FL, CA, Oster’s data set... I Could Go On.

This thread. NYTimes bas covered NOTHING in this thread, except one while back story about European reopenings.

There is a reason @ZacBissonnette says they have a “blackout” on this topic. https://twitter.com/karenvaites/status/1316199162636099586
