The numbers show the percentage of those testing positive who were under 25 and under 15.
There appears to be a correlation between incidence and kids being out of school.
The WSJ just published an article on Europe's experiences and their move away from in-person learning, especially with the rise of the more contagious UK COVID variant.
It's worth noting the main study in this article has not been peer reviewed.
Austria is working to return to in-person instruction. Their plan includes high volume testing of students and faculty.
This seems like a solid strategy, especially in combination with the hybrid A/B scheduling and mandatory school masking used in the North Carolina study.

Oklahomans deserve a Governor they can trust. Not one who attacks our tribal nations. Not one who hides WH reports. Not one who misrepresents studies and headlines.

He even mislead my own House colleagues. 50 members of our Governor's own party now have egg on their face because they trusted him to be honest about his plan.
The recommendations also include:
▶️ Daily screenings of students and staff
▶️ Mask adherence
▶️ Efficient contact tracing
▶️ 3 Ws, including 6' social distancing
We have none of these.
It's worth mentioning the study didn't find any instances of child-to-adult transmission.
