  1. Sandra Windham:

    Parents constantly text kids throughout the day and kids get very anxious if they are unable to answer them, the content of the texts is almost never school related, though. Even during our state testing, when strict rules go into place about phone usage, parents call the school and demand their kids get their phone back. And when I call parents to report bad behavior or grades due to phone use, the phone is rarely taken away as a consequence.

  2. John Swartzberg:

  4. Deborah Birx:

And labs are learning now how to bring all of those platforms up to hopefully double and increase our testing ability across the country, and to really align the needs, there’s capacity, that tests are not being run. And I think ensuring that they have the swabs, ensuring that they have the tubes to transport the swabs in, and then ensuring that all the laboratory platforms are up and running, and that’s the information we gave to the governors.

  5. Mike Whan:

We are taking the next steps in this process, guided first and foremost by doing what’s right by the entire game.
