The Washington Post said "the disproportionate number of teachers appearing in covid-19 obituaries is striking."

The author has not provided any evidence of disproportionate representation.

This unsubstantiated statement should be corrected @washingtonpost.
From today& #39;s WSJ:

"Sweden never shut its schools, and teachers there have had the same fatality rate during this pandemic as IT technicians, who can often work from home." #click=https://t.co/27Q8oDGqD8">https://www.wsj.com/articles/end-the-school-shutdown-11603235888?redirect=amp #click=https://t.co/27Q8oDGqD8">https://www.wsj.com/articles/...
WSJ cites Brown University& #39;s Emily Oster:

"Her data—covering almost 200,000 kids across 47 states from the last two weeks of September—showed a Covid-19 case rate of 0.13% among students and 0.24% among staff [...] By comparison, the current overall U.S. case rate is 2.6%"
