It looks like it's still not clear to CDC what is really the safest distance, and all their studies are not conclusive, they didn't really bring data that we can rely on. The article made me think about where this pressure to fill the schools is coming from, and how hard it can be for a school to adapt their space to make classes work as before. Good piece!

This article provides only a little more information than what is available in the headline. It does well to try and provide a whole host of sources and perspectives on the issue, but ultimately, the takeaway has to be that we still don't know what an appropriate level of distance is and for what age groups.
