   Opening schools is the red herring. The real issue is the absolute lack of safety net or social structure that has led Americans to think that opening schools is the only salvation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/the-pandemic-didnt-create-working-moms-struggle-but-it-made-it-impossible-to-ignore/2020/07/07/bcc021c4-bbb8-11ea-bdaf-a129f921026f_story.html

   Let me fix that for you, Washington Post. To quote Sagan, science is more than a body of knowlege; its a way of thinking. Science as a practice isnt the problem here; lack of good data to draw conclusions is. Experimenting on kids is unconscionable, so we wait and see. https://twitter.com/drsekula/status/1281556798869311491/photo/1 https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/66023

   Every single [faculty member] volunteered to offer an in-person, one-on-one tutorial to our international students [to avoid their deportation] ... One of my colleagues told me that he would teach outside in the snow if he needed to. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2020/07/09/trump-move-against-international-students-may-have-backfired/

   From gsiskind https://twitter.com/gsiskind on Twitter: Warning - Long tweet thread coming. I'm summing up the Harvard v. DHS complaint challenging ICE in its attempt to force F-1 students to leave the US if their courses are being offered online this fall. They lawyers did a superb job. I think you'll find this interesting.

   From chronicle https://twitter.com/chronicle on Twitter: ICEs policy was viewed by many as a backdoor effort by the Trump administration to force colleges to reopen to face-to-face instruction. https://www.chronicle.com/article/As-MITHarvard-Sue/249142

    June: our uni. had 27 cases of an individual on-campus confirmed with COVID-19; that's 0.93 cases per day. No in-person classes. Since July 1, we've had 9 such cases, or 1.0 per day. Will take time to see if that is a genuine increase. In person classes began this week.

    Always fun to see your experiment called out in comments in a 3rd-party codebase: "However ATLAS complained that they sometimes have NaN's in <variable> and this interferes with some of their internal validation." What a bunch of whiners, ATLAS. :-)

    Saying that "faculty do their best teaching in-person" is a little like saying "painters do their best work in oils". Faculty must aspire to be teaching artists; their true canvas is lecture, discussion, demonstration, assessment. How they paint their masterpiece is up to them.

    "If the in-person instruction model fails, we will all have to go back online anyway. But what is our indicator of failure? Do we have to wait for one of our students or professors to die?"

    My pandemic dreams are getting weirder. I dreamed of attending a movie in a theater, acted out in the audience ala "Rocky Horror". It was a Matt Damon film called "The Awesomeness". He was in a blond mullet wig. There was a long musical number about pizza and wings.

    From COVID19Tracking http://status.hackerposse.com/url/21582 on Twitter: Although new cases continue to grow, testing providers are being overwhelmed. Turnaround times are lengthening; the supply chain is stressed. In a place like Arizona, this may mean that we wont see rapid increases in cases because testing cannot scale with the outbreak. http://status.hackerposse.com/…
