My paper with @mlipsitch and @mugecevik about why reopening primary schools in a safe and pedagogically responsible way should be a national priority--and what to do to make it a reality #EdEthics #EducationWithCOVID @hgse @dsallentesshttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMms2024920 …
Solid wise recommendations, but you missed the strongest scientific evidence. Sweden never closed day-care/primary schools, with zero COVID19 deaths among 1.8 million children ages 1-15. No masks. Teachers had no excess risk compared to other professions. https://folkhalsomyndigheten.se/contentassets/c1b78bffbfde4a7899eb0d8ffdb57b09/covid-19-school-aged-children.pdf …

Data from Sweden suggest that the reproductive number in Swedish schools is below 1. However, in more crowded primary schools, the reproductive number can be above 1, as data from at least 3 countries suggest. It is important in such instances to apply robust mitigation efforts.

They opened schools in Georgia recently, and three high schools are already closed due to outbreaks (with at least 35 persons infected in the largest one): https://www.newsweek.com/georgia-high-school-viral-hallway-photo-reopens-again-after-35-students-teachers-catch-covid-1524871 … https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/coronavirus-prompts-closing-georgia-high-school-district-over-1k-quarantine-n1236492 … https://www.news4jax.com/news/georgia/2020/08/13/2nd-georgia-school-closed-for-weeks-as-quarantines-grow/ … Wearing face masks wasn't mandatory there.
