NYT editorial page coming out hard for schools to remain open

@JAMA_current hosted a debate on the Great Barrington Declaration between @mlipsitch and Jay Bhattacharya.

Keep Schools Open

"Schools should remain open in almost all circumstances"

-Marc Lipsitch, Harvard epidemiologist, against GBD

/3

"The pain of not having schools open ... there are going to be consequences for decades"

-Howard Bauchner, Editor of JAMA, host of debate

/4

"Keeping students out of school is a grave injustice."

-Great Barrington Declaration, Jay Bhattacharya, co-author
