Y’all 😂😂😂 Now the #CDCsays the increase in people drowning in the US is because public pools were closed during #lockdowns.
😂😂😂😂
The reasons for the increase in drowning deaths aren't known for certain, but public health officials say the lockdowns and closures related to the pandemic affected how people interacted with the water recreationally.
CDC Division of Injury Prevention health scientist Tessa Clemens, who was the lead author of the report, said in a follow-up email to NPR that the causes behind the increase in fatalities were "likely complex."
"However, we know that many public pools closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited the availability of swimming lessons," Clemens said. "Once pools reopened, many facilities faced shortages of trained swimming instructors and lifeguards, which further reduced availability of swimming lessons and safe swimming areas."
