You aren’t an office worker. Nurses and doctors have been working in person through most of the pandemic. Same with grocery store workers, people who work in manufacturing plants and distribution centers, etc. I don’t understand the obsession with what office dwellers are doing. It’s a different job!

It’s not like the people we like best get to stay home and the people we don’t like have to go to work. That’s true in some workplaces but not across the board. Generally, people whose work requires in person are in person, and people whose work is mostly staring at a computer screen stay home. It’s a practical consideration, not a prize. And the idea that teachers won’t go back until even office workers go back is crazy, not least because some office workers will never go back. That’s because their employers realized they just don’t need to be in person. I am sorry, but that is not the conclusion we’ve drawn about schools.

Sorry that your profession is really important and we’ve collectively found that it really needs to be done in person?[/quote]

That's fine, you can have whatever attitude you want, but that's now what this thread is about.  This thread is about the Wisconsin study people are citing as evidence that the risk to employees of returning to in person instruction in schools, with extensive mitigation, is less than it is to the general population. [b] It appears that the risk to adult staff was higher than that of the general population[/b].   I think that is important information to have.

When you have looked up the rate of adults in Wisconsin, and compared, then you can state this.  Since you haven't done that, you're speculating.
