These numbers are from Oklahoma's weekly epidemiology and surveillance reports: oklahoma.gov/covid19/newsro…

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It's worth noting the main study in this article has not been peer reviewed.

wsj.com/articles/europ…
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.
Remember, in Oklahoma, "The Farmer And The Cowman Can Be Friends."

Let's stop shouting at each other. Instead, let's work together to find ways to do in-person learning that protect our students, staff, and communities.

#Trust

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 has one tool, the bully pulpit. To make that work, he needs the trust of the people.

It's gone.

He fails to consult with others and makes unilateral decisions. It's clear he didn't speak to teachers, hospital administrators, or pediatricians before he announced his most recent demands.

All have come out against his plan.

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.

Long post warning...

Not studies. It's a SINGLE study.

Here's the source, since the original tweet did not include the citation: pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediat…

Also, the study was of students in class just 2 days per week. Plus, 1/3 of students were completely remote. Image
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. Image
It's worth mentioning the study didn't find any instances of child-to-adult transmission. Image
