[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is 90,000 staff and teachers a large enough pool to study for folks? Duke University published a study in Pediatrics, which the CDC has also cited.

"The study included data from 11 of the partner school districts that were open for all nine weeks of the first quarter and agreed to track both COVID-19 case count and secondary transmission for research purposes. From these districts, which included over 90,000 students and staff attending in-person instruction, there were 773 cases acquired from the community. In contrast, contact tracing from the state health department identified only 32 infections that were acquired within schools through secondary transmission."

People are screaming louder than usual this week because this study and a couple others all came out recently.

This is the best example of a solid study about COVID in schools that I have seen. Until this report, which looks like it was released this week, I haven’t seen any with a significant sample size that seems to prove what people have been screaming since March. I hope this one sticks and is supported when our children return. [/quote][/quote]
