California’s governor announced rules that would force most schools to start the year with virtual learning.

Responding to soaring coronavirus cases and growing concern from teachers, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California announced new rules on Friday that would force many of the state’s districts to teach remotely when school starts next month and require most of its more than six million students to wear masks when they do attend class.

“We all prefer in-classroom instruction for all the obvious reasons,” Mr. Newsom said, “but only if it can be done safely.”

The announcement comes at the end of a week in which school districts across the state and country, including California’s two largest, Los Angeles and San Diego, abandoned plans for in-person instruction, saying they would start the school year remotely, and in which California announced a sweeping rollback of plans to reopen businesses.

And their numbers are increasing more than other counties. They need to go back to school since they can't think and comprehend like normal, functioning adults. And the age group with the highest increases...20-39.
