Working at a school, this is an awful and dangerous article.

Schools are very likely to become hyperspreaders with how little space there is between kids in class, and because the younger ones (grade 5 to 8) are still immature.

The students catch covid and (we've known this for a year) usually have mild to no symptoms, but they go on to infect their parents. The dark figure is very high.

> A study by the Helmholtz Centre Munich, for example, showed that the number of children with antibodies in their blood was six times higher than the cases reported by the Bavarian State Office for Health and Nutrition. [1]

I'm honestly baffled by how shortsighted the 'if it's not sick, it's not an issue' logic is. This does not work with Covid.

I think this is not a good argument:

- Vaccines have been shown to be not very good at preventing infections, especially a few months after the last dose, and even more so with newer variants. - As far as I know, most virologists say that infection is inevitable. Vaccinating kids can delay the infection, but not prevent it.

How come we don't have data about spread from schools etc? Its been 2 years

A lot of things are 'likely'
