Lots of European countries kept schools open during most of the pandemic so the answer is quit simple not much. I don’t know what studies you are referencing but they don’t seem to be backed by the experience in European countries.
- zabzonk 6y ago> Lots of European countries kept schools open during most of the pandemic More like "SOME European countries kept schools open during SOME of the pandemic". And look at the state of Covid in the EU now, with infection rates climbing yet again.
- christkv 6y agoSure but locking down again is not going to change that significantly and even the WHO who I don’t trust at all has consistently been saying that lockdowns should be avoided at all costs.
- onethought 6y agoAustralia’s lockdown policies seem to have worked a treat
- barney54 6y agoFrance has had school open for much of the last year—when infections were increasing and decreasing. It doesn’t appear that schools are driving the infections.
- lazyasciiart 6y agoThe French schools my family attend were all on cohort models attending one week on, one week off, for context.
- d6e 6y agoWhat were the infection numbers when those European schools were open? Most of Europe did an actual lockdown and so was able to open schools at times when the numbers are down.
- christkv 6y agoSpain’s been open school wise since the first lockdown and it’s not been a main driver of infections. Sure every week or so a class gets sent home for quarantine due to a case but each class is in a bubble so it’s not stopped school from happening and the kids are better for it. People got to stop panicking about it like it’s the Black Death it’s not helping anyone and it undermines my the argument because people push back at fear mongering. Vaccines will curb it as it seems it’s doing in the uk or Israel.
