There are many other models that say the opposite though. The problem with the highlighted study is that they could not separate school vs. university closures and other mitigation measures were implemented at the same time so it is difficult to ascertain the actual impact.
Hi Eli, best scientific evidence: Sweden never closed day-care/primary schools, with zero COVID19 deaths and few hospitalized among 1.8 million children ages 1-15. It can spread in schools, but safer than flu, even with #OpenSchools at height of pandemic.

I’m not worried about the kids. I’m worried about the teachers and parents and grandparents. South Korea controlled the outbreak with testing and tracing, how’s that working in the US? Comparing US to other countries is not helpful
Important considerations. Again, best evidence from Sweden. With schools open, compared to other professions, the #COVID19 RR was 0.9 (95% CI 0.7-1.1) for day-care and 1.1 (95% CI 0.9-1.3) for primary school teachers.

Not the right comparison. What’s the teacher risk and community risk in Sweden when schools open compared to risk in Sweden when schools closed? See:https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2769034 …
In Sweden, day-care/primary schools never closed, except for regular holidays and vacations. Such temporal comparisons are scientifically fraught though, due to other changes occurring at the same time (as in Israel) and natural changes in incidence and immunity.
