[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, per Emily Ouster’s data in areas of high spread by the CDC’s definition, the most open schools had a lower case count than half open schools among students and staff at all grades. Basic mitigation (masking and 3 feet) works, look: https://statsiq.co1.qualtrics.com/public-dashboard/v0/dashboard/5f78e5d4de521a001036f78e?fbclid=IwAR3CnonaZI2WH0J76iFNz9mIVfW8lnOai_BNvGZDFZ7o3lFkLlIe9t3tk8s#/dashboard/5f78e5d4de521a001036f78e?pageId=Page_ffb4dc52-5543-46b2-8126-2b7229fd1b17[/quote]

OP here, ok at least this is data, but my premise is that PAST U.S. data is not relevant IF there is widespread transmission of these NEW variants in the U.S. in the future.

"At the same time that CDC officials were updating school policy, they were also warning that B117, a variant strain 50% more transmissible than the wild-type virus, would likely become the dominant strain in the United States by April. In some states, such as Florida and California, the variant, which was first detected in the United Kingdom, already accounts for 25% of cases.

Now several experts are concerned that schools may be opening during an inflection point in the pandemic and are being misguided about how to do so."[/quote]
