Not great methodology, Ireland appears to be the red because the long summer holidays here when schools are always closed have been averaged in. It should be orange to green based on being open since September

The timeline for Australia is wrong too. They've put the data from Victoria there, but the majority of schools (~80%) in Aus only closed for a short time although the exact timings varied by state

Honestly if you're going to have Australia on the map you should use the timeline for the vast majority of schools which only closed for a month or so (lockdown was over holidays in many places) rather than a single state with a longer closure

Even better, perhaps we should introduce state level data... Thanks for the feedback
@GidMK we will discuss how we can improve the draft

That would be ideal. My mother in law is a teacher here in NSW - originally was going to have to go online for the entire year but eventually only missed 1 week of face to face teaching!

Actually maybe you can help me with a causal inference question I'm struggling to determine direction of causality between Australias terrible television and excellent outdoor lifestyle Outdoors lots because television is awful, or television awful because everyone is outdoors?

One other point about the study - I'd be careful with the YLL estimate from the JNO paper, we've published a critique of the figures which have a number of errors in themhttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1336467258655166465?s=19 …

Agree the actual estimate is completely unreliable It's more a demonstration that effect of lost future income/opportunities can translate into YLL (even if there is really no way of estimating with any precision)

I honestly think that YLL is the wrong way to look at it even so. If you correct the errors, schools closing doesn't cost that many YLL, but that shouldn't mean that opening them is a bad idea!
