We are talking about fall of 2020 into winter of 21.
debate that talks about the CR boxes being more effective than the plexiglass shields that were actually used. These devices were coming into use by fall 2020. The first Wired article on the design was in August 2020.
Just because it was used a few places doesn’t mean a place as big as NYC is just going to go all in without some serious scientific analysis first. And that takes time
Schools needed support to open. There easily could have been a strong push to gear up schools rather than whatever it was that Trump was doing.
I think we also forget that the poorest schools needed the most help to open and had families most scared of in person learning.
had zero scientific analysis either... but anyway.
It wasn’t recommending random ventilators found in Wired magazine.
At least not in 2020/21
