So much wrong with this study. Mitigation is used 15 times, elimination is not used once.
Mitigation is the wrong strategy.

This was the first red flag for me, the consensus they reached. I see no proof of this consensus, no research that short-term temporary school closures vs long-term mitigation leads to greater adverse mental health effects in children. #BCed

Second red flag.
This is wrong. Current research shows closing schools leads to lower community transmission, not mitigation (ie keeping schools open).
I'll post the study next tweet in the thread.

UK study
"accumulating evidence is consistent with increased transmission occurring amongst school children when schools are open, particularly in children of secondary school age (high confidence)."

Closing schools not mitigation.

Mitigation = keeping the fire simmering
Elimination = putting the fire out
If the 'consensus' is to keep the fire going at a low rate the people who made the consensus are idiots, imo.
