KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, everyone. I'm Kate Bolduan. Thanks so much for
joining us this hour.
It seems crystal clear now that when it comes to the coronavirus, you cannot have your
cake and eat it, too. You can't, on one hand, not do the hard work, not dramatically change
behavior, not wait until the science-driven guideposts have been met and then still expect
to have nice things.
And by nice things, I really only mean getting back to something that looks like normal.
It's clear you can't just beat this virus by hoping for the best.
Take a look at the process of reopening schools and universities. In multiple places
around the country, COVID outbreaks are forcing school officials to reverse course and
suspend in-person learning.
The latest and most glaring example, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which
announced that it is no longer holding in-person classes for undergrads after about 130
students tested positive for COVID in the first week
