Read the actual studies pointed to by the article, rather than the article itself. One was really badly done in that it lumped children aged 5-17 together and reporting the findings based on that. And the other has not been peer reviewed.
And what’s your criticism of this study by the American Medical Association which says the same thing?

I read them. I can’t take all the theories, rationalizations, defenses and equivocations anymore.
I’m keeping my kids home this year. It will be so hard but I can’t keep debating this. Better super safe than sorry.

This is really awful news! I desperately want my kids back in school but not if it means killing their teachers or the lovely older women who work in the school. Or DH and me!

Every country in the world, including Iceland, closed schools.

And the ones that reopened - are closing them again and again.

I don’t see the humor if my kids are forced back to school with no DL options. Or if my mom is forced back to teaching or lose her job and pension.

The poor teachers and school workers if children are forced back to school. And the parents!!
And the grandparents who miss the kids so much already!
If this is true, this is really bad news for us.
