CDC quietly removed school guidance for eliminating masks, rolling back COVID-19 prevention efforts – Fox News

"It's basically mask indefinitely in schools forever, and there is no off-ramps. So it's really disappointing to see that."  Teachers unions have previously influenced changes to the CDC’s school-related guidance, reports ...
