1/ Context: My husband has 4 degrees, including a doctorate. He is a physicist and teaches in secondary school.
He has been shouting at the TV this morning, which - given that he's far milder-mannered than me - shows how irritated he is.

My husband has pointed out that many teachers have not been in close contact with a lot of children for much of the last year.
From March-July, schools were shut for other than small groups of children.
From July-end August, schools were closed.

The only time when teachers were exposed to large numbers of children was from September-Xmas.
During that time, whole groups of children were sent home to self-isolate, as one of their classmates (or their family) had contracted Covid or had symptoms.

Ergo the statistical analysis of teachers being "no more at risk" is flawed.
End.
