This is in historic time.

This is going to be a multi-year fight.

Why is it taking so long to get a screening test?

It is not a hoax, it is real.

Something that we have never experienced before.

Wash hands, wash hands, wash hands.

I mean you're the scientist, you're gonna have to tell me.

Welcome, welcome to Science Rules, Corona Virus Edition.

I'm your host Bill Nye, and this is the series that brings you the latest analysis and the science of this pandemic to keep you informed, prepared, and calm.

We are still all in this together, my friends.

Almost a million more Americans have been infected with a coronavirus since our last episode, just two weeks ago, with another 15,000 fatalities.

That's roughly 155,000 dead in the US so far.

Globally more than 18 million people have been infected since this pandemic began with almost 700,000 deaths.

This time last year you were probably inundated, with ads for back to school supplies and back to school deals.

Back to school season looks a lot different this year in 2020.

To help figure out how it looks different, and even if we can send our kids back to school this fall, I am joined by Arnie Duncan.

He was Secretary of Education under President Obama, and before that CEO of the Chicago Public Schools, he is now a managing partner at the Emerson Collective, an organization working for social change.

Arnie Duncan, welcome to Science Rules, may I call you Arnie?

That's my name, and such a fan of yours is more important than my kids of huge fans, so just thank for everything you have done and continue to do, and it's honor to talk to you a little bit.

Your kids are like 18, 16 years old.

You're so good. They are 18 and 16. You're exactly right.

Holy cow.
