[quote=Anonymous]There is research - and I think the answer is not as clear cut as either “side” would have you believe. And the new strains could be a game changer as much as the vaccine, unfortunately.

“First, for communities where hospitalization rates were already relatively low, "when [schools] opened in-person or hybrid mode, we did not see increases in hospitalizations post-re-opening." This applies to communities with fewer than 36 to 44 hospitalizations per 100,000 people.

In some cases, school reopenings did appear to make matters worse. In other cases, the opposite was true. In the end, for these harder-hit communities, the researchers say their results were inconclusive.

The study also comes with a few important caveats. The data analysis was conducted before a new, more contagious strain of the coronavirus had been documented in the U.S.”
