Teachers do not have excess #COVID19 risk compared to other professions, even with day-care, primary and middle schools open during the height of the pandemic, as they were in Sweden. Data from @Folkhalsomynd, graph by @InProportion2.http://inproportion2.talkigy.com/finnish_swedish_study_26jul.html …
Frequent contacts with many adults seem to increase the #COVID19 risk, but not contacts with children. Teachers should stay away from other teachers, but not from the kids.

Most of the risk is cultural to schools: teacher presenteeism...can be difficult to replace a teacher at short notice so they turn up while ill.
