There are so many great nuggets in this article, I don't have much more to add than what I've previously stated.
1- numerators matter - we don't know the number of students with Covid-19 bc we aren't systematically testing students in most districts.
2- denominators matter

3- generalizability matters if your going to make generizable statements.
4- context matters- what policies and mitigation strategies are schools able to implement?
5- disparities matter- Black and Brown people carry a larger burden of Covid and should be represented in the data

6. local health departments matter- work with them on data collection, analysis and interpretation. They can help ensure we're putting our data in proper context.
I find it important to state I've helped schools reopen, and assisted schools in staying remote. There's no right answer to all schools. Data are changing daily. We need to continue to learn and make decisions based on the best data we have. Rigorous methods will get us there.
