'Great work, guys!' CDC breaks news about who 'may be at increased risk for mental and physical health problems'

Is Captain Obvious running the CDC’s Twitter account today? You be the judge:

A new @CDCMMWR finds children attending school entirely or partly online during #COVID19, as well as their parents, may be at increased risk for mental and physical health problems. Both may need extra support to reduce the pandemic’s impact. Learn more: https://t.co/AlyNplAllK. pic.twitter.com/EMnMcYLRbh

“The pandemic’s impact”? Well, it had some help:

It wasn't "the pandemic", it was the government's response.

It ain't the pandemic that did this – it was YOU.

Have fun living with yourselves. https://t.co/G5YcTaX7m6

As for the fallout from keeping schools closed and forcing “remote learning,” the CDC’s epiphany came well after most everybody else’s:

Wow if only the CDC could fix this problem by acknowledging the science it already knows that 3 feet distancing is fine. Oh wait…you can!
