Reopening schools amid COVID-19: Teachers fear safety, some are dying

Laura Ungar and Samantha Young Kaiser Health News California mom Megan Bacigalupi has had enough. She wants her kindergartner and second-grader back in their Oakland classrooms. But the coronavirus is spreading too quickly to open schools in Alameda County, based on current state standards. And the local teachers union hasn’t agreed to go back – even after teachers have been vaccinated. So she expects her kids will be logging on to school from home for a while. “The impediments to opening are just too great,” said Bacigalupi, who is lobbying California lawmakers to establish firm, statewide health metrics that, once met, would require schools to open. “In the end, it comes down to a lack of political will to get the kids back in the classroom.”

FDA announces plan to draft guidance to contend with COVID-19 variants

USA TODAY Concerned about new variants of the virus that causes COVID-19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced late Thursday that it is developing guidance to help vaccine, drug and testing manufacturers adapt. Existing vaccines, treatments and tests still work well, emphasized the FDA s acting commissioner Janet Woodcock. But now is the time to get ready for a future when they may not. We must prepare for all eventualities, she said in a call with reporters. Within the next few weeks, the FDA will provide draft guidance to manufacturers on how to adapt their products as needed, Woodcock said. Feedback from companies and others will help refine that guidance.

COVID vaccine: What went wrong with distribution, what s being changed

USA TODAY In late December, the idea that safe, effective vaccines against COVID-19 had been created in less than a year seemed miraculous – a triumph of science and American ingenuity. It took only six weeks to tarnish that image.  Pride in the remarkable feat has been replaced by confusion, accusations of unfairness, frustrating waits and the nightmare of vaccine vials gathering dust while tens of thousands of people die of what is now a preventable disease.  Even people leading the effort are at a loss to explain how and why things took such a bad turn so fast.  I would love to understand it, said Moncef Slaoui, head of the vaccine development effort under the Trump administration and an adviser to the Biden administration.
