Some medical experts claimed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) strict guidelines for child summer camps are “virtue signaling” at best, and possibly “cruel.”
The CDC rolled out heavy-handed guidelines for children and teens planning to attend summer camps last month, ostensibly to combat spread of COVID-19. Scientists and other experts say the standards ignore the science around COVID-19, however, and are unnecessarily harsh toward young people, according to experts interviewed by New York Magazine.
JAMA Pediatrics editor-in-chief and epidemiologist Dimitri Christakis said that the rules are “unfairly draconian” and that “keeping children masked for activities like baseball and tennis is ridiculous.”
“We should let kids be close and play, he said. And with rapid testing twice a week on a rolling basis, a relatively easy program to conduct, he added, we should be able to forgo masks. Even without testing, Christakis said that sports like soccer should be able to be done without masks,” New York Magazine reported.
