ANOTHER OPINION 6-foot rule keeping kids out of class ne year into the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that “It is critical for Oschools to open as safely and as soon as possible, and remain open.” That’s a recognition that remote learning is doing incalculable harm to America’s children. Unfortunately, the CDC’s own social distancing guidelines have made the task of reopening schools even harder. The CDC recommends that physical distancing of “at least 6 feet” between students “should be maximized to the greatest extent possible.” This is based largely on research on how pathogens spread through coughing and sneezing. Many businesses and indoor public facilities follow the guidance — but strict adherence to it has cut classroom capacity in many public schools, especially those in high-population-density districts, by 50% or more. As schools reopen, the 6-foot rule will require educators to maintain “hybrid” schedules that limit the number of students receiving in-person instruction at any one time. Such restrictions might be justified if maintaining the 6-foot rule in schools meaningfully reduced the chances of covid outbreaks. The available data, however, shows that keeping students 6 feet apart generally isn’t necessary as long as they all wear masks. A Lancet review of 172 studies on coronavirus transmission found that roughly 3 feet of separation “is strongly associated with protection” from covid. Infection rates in reopened U.S. schools also suggest negligible benefits from keeping Corporate tax increase will be passed on the 6-foot rule in place. A recent CDC study of schools in Wood County, Wisconsin, found that out of 191 covid cases reported among students and staff, just 4% were linked to in-school transmission, even though more Biden tax hike won’t spare middle class than half of the country’s grade-schoolers sat less than 6 feet apart.

tage of what we can control and that’s preparation and practice.” Florida State finished a program-record fourth in last year’s final Associated Press Top 25 poll. While Kansas and Gonzaga, which were ranked 1-2, also appear to be formidable, two of last year’s top 10 didn’t have the same success this season. Third- ranked Dayton is in the NIT and No. 8 Kentucky turned in its worst record by winning percentage since 1927. The three teams seeded higher than the Seminoles in the East weren’t ranked in last year’s season-ending poll. Top seed Michigan got the fourth-most votes among teams while Alabama and Texas didn’t even receive a vote. “To be back in this position, I feel like it’s been so long, but it’s a blessing to be here,” senior guard M.J. Walker said. “You can feel the excitement, walking past teams in the hotel and seeing the March Madness courts that we’re practicing on.” Florida State is looking to get to the Sweet 16 for the third straight tournament behind two familiar Hamilton trademarks — depth and an up-tempo offense. The Seminoles led the ACC in scoring offense, averaging 78.9 points per game and have nine players averaging at least 14 minutes per game. A surprise is that they are making 38% of their 3-pointers, which is a program record. Walker, a 6-foot-5 senior, is averaging a team-leading 13.1 points per game and has hit 44.1% of his shots from beyond the arc. Junior forward RaiQuan Gray averages 12.4 points and leads the team in rebounds (6.9 per game). Scottie Barnes won ACC Freshman and Sixth Man honors after averaging 10.3 points. Sophomore center Balsa Koprivica has also hit his stride with double-doubles in two games during the ACC Tournament. Hamilton also wants his team focused on the present because of their struggles down the stretch. The Seminoles were in position to repeat as ACC regular-season champs but dropped two of their final three games, including an eight-point loss at North Carolina after they led by 12 at half-
