Fountains you name it. We touched on it all. We are now going to bring in Dr Nicole Saphier Fox NEWS, medical contributor and author of the book make America Healthy again one of my favorite books, Nicole, welcome to the show, as always thank you for being here. I dont know if you were able to see some of that package, but I was exploring a particular school Staten Island Academy and the extensive protocol that they have set up. So at this point from a medical perspective and the perspective of a mom, should all students be today setting up for in person full time learning for the fall well, what an important message andselves by going into the school and showing them. I have now senile videos of my childrens school and I can tell you as a mom. You know I dreamt about it just last night, im a little nervous about sending them back to school, im very excited to send them back to school, because it is so crucial if you look all across uranium and other places in the world. There are places where they are successfully opening in person schooling.

The bottom line is: it depends on the surrounding community transmission, think of New York and New Jersey. We are hovering at about one percent, positive rate, that is, that is key for successful school reopenings. If you take the Dakotas North and South Dakota even Mississippi, they are still hovering at twenty percent positive rate thats a bit too high data tells us that they would not successfully reopen if they went to immediately in person classes. With that being said, Jedediah we cant look at the state percent positives, break it down even further to the counties. If the counties had done their part to lessen that transmission lessen that community spread, it is essential to get these children back to school. Follow the science. The science tells us specifically, those under ten years old will have less severe infections and likely play a lesser role in transmission. Those children have to be back. It is crucial for their development im such a supporter for getting kids back but getting kids back safely. We need the ability to rapid test and we also need the

ability to contact, trace and selectly isolate. We dont need to shut down an entire school when there is a case, we need to be able to shut down that cohort, so the remainder of the school can go on. Will one percent positive rate, Dr Saphier, and yet my school in New York just got put on remote learning for the rest of the semester. Doesnt seem like we are are following science, it seems like we are following fear: shut down, not just a cohort or school, but entire conference of football in the big ten, because Penn State Doctor said that thirty five percent Penn State Doctor said that thirty five percent of athletes who had Covid developed Myocardites a heart condition since gone back and said that was not the case. Weigh was talking off. The cuff tell us about this potential heart link to Covid and whether this is science or fear. Speaking about the school shut down and heart inflammation

in athletes, its unfortunate it does nothing but hinder progress. A sports guy from Penn State made off the cuff comment up to thirty. Five percent of players could have heart inflammation, basing this on a conversation he had about a colleague who was potentially doing a study. I cant even begun to refute that study because we dont know if Texas Cysts there is a small study out of Germany that did Cardiac MRI of the heart in one hundred patients who tested positive for covid. Seventy eight percent of them showed some level of inflammation Heres the thing they also did mris on patients who dont have covid and about twenty percent of them showed inflammation on their mri. So that being said, we know, viruses of all types can actually cause inflammation of the heart we actually know just being in the hospital being sick from various causes can show inflammation of the heart. Do you know what else can cause inflammation of the heart?

Being an athlete delete going on a run can cause inflammation of the heart. If you look at it, take this MRI data with a grain of salt. Listen, we know, Covid manifests with multiple symptoms. We know the heart can be involved because it has those a two receptors. It does not seem that cardiac man, FES stations, are the primary symptoms of Covid. 19 college athletes risks with it one in every forty to eighty thousand athletes will actually die from sudden cardiac death. All of that being said, these organizations are so good at taking the proper precautions screening their athletes, making sure their athletes are safe and doing everything possible to keep them safe. So if an delete tests positive for Covid 19, the Good NEWS is these young guys most likely are going to make it just fine about a third are going to be asymptomatic. Maybe another third are going to have some mild symptoms. Maybe the flu

like symptoms and a very small fraction will even require smoption. I mean going forward. Covid 19 is not the biggest risk for these athletes. The biggest risk for these athletes are mostly those sports righted injuries PETE, just like our young guys in schools. Greatest risk is not having them there. Thankfully, the school my kids go to, I have observed, do the very same protocols that Jed just showed in that.
