[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Study of effect of imposing and lifting #COVID19 measures in 131 countries. Reopening schools was associated with a 24% increase in the reproduction number (R) after 28 days. This was the second-largest increase, after lifting bans of gatherings (25%).[/quote]

Any differentiation made between high schools and elementary schools in this study?

My understanding was that high schoolers are a bigger vector for spread than young children.

It might be there is less spread associated with grades preK-2, exactly the ages that need in person care the most.[/quote]

"My understanding"?

Again: Please post links to articles or reputable studies for this claim re: HS versus K-2. I doubt there's been enough time for any deep-dive, extensive studies in the US just yet but would be glad to read about them if you have a reputable source. Seriously.

But...Mere anecdotes on DCUM and in the neighborhood are not evidence of anything other than what people wish were true and what fits people's preferred narratives. Reposting personal "understandings" here is simply "I heard it around town"-level gossip.
