[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we guesstimate that Schools with a higher percentage of kids taking public transportation will have more outbreaks?[/quote]

Yes but it depends on who else is using the bus, and how.   If the buses and trains remain at low utilization, and all people including kids are wearing their masks then there would probably not be a correlation between high using public transport schools and neighborhood schools where everyone walks to school. And if there were I think there would be some con-founding factors which would need to be teased out. [/quote]

public transport use would go up as parents would need to ride with and then without their kids
metro is also not running like normal so the people who need it the most will be hurt the most
some families leave their homes at 6:30 to get across town on the bus - be grateful that isn't you (this also means they get home at 7 and kids go straight to bed) now they would have to leave even earlier and stand in the cold longer for waiting for the bus to get to school for in person so you can have daycare for your kids[/quote]
