You can spend all day reading med journals, speaking to the best paediatricians, virologists + epidemiologists to help make sense of current evidence about schools and Covid-19 spread, + people will still ignore your article, tweet conspiracy theories at you, + accuse you of bias
I hate being that wanker but I did actually go back to uni to complete units in epidemiology, biostatistics and medical law at my own expense to ensure I communicate and interpret this stuff as best I can. I realise the public duty in it and I don't take it lightly.
It's much more popular I guess to call for school closures based on emotion and then back-track later. Rest assured if studies and experts tell me schools spread this virus and they should not re-open I will report that. I can't force experts to say things though.
