Fmr. CDC Director on Schools: The Key is to Open Them in a Way that They Can Stay Open | GZERO WORLD

In a new interview with Ian Bremmer for GZERO World, former CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden says that the single most important step to reopening schools in the fall is to control infection in the community. But as of now, too many communities across the United States have lost control of the Covid-19 virus.
