Trying to compare 2 populations separated markedly by both age and classroom density and draw any conclusions based on the very predictable result just seems asinine. I guess we can see if anything comes of the study but I doubt it, and coming out with "trigger warning" like this is some kinda dunk is a bit silly. Yeah, the study may be firmly debunked as I agreed in a couple of posts and it is only a preprint as I stated in the very first post saying "Note: This study is a preprint so take it for what it is worth". In any case, they have done some work to limit the differences in group size though seems a bit like they did it for show but didn't really narrow it anywhere near what they should have done. Quote As the school census allows the declaration of bubble groups of any size, we excluded those with either more than 30 or less than 5 members, to ensure better intra-group stability. We also excluded schools that did not have bubble groups for all 9 academic years. As you say, and as I also said, "we shall see". I suspect all of these studies that focus on masking in schools, regardless of conclusion (for, against, whatever), will be summarily debunked given the difficulty in being able to isolate a single contributing factor. My use of the word "trigger warning" was just that. Not a dunk of any sort but rather an acknowledgement that the post would generate some interest. I'm sure we will end up seeing several other studies produced on this topic and no doubt many (maybe the best ones) will show high levels of effectiveness. We shall see...

Also, yes, I've worn them on many many many occasions during the pandemic and did so voluntarily as we had no actual mandates except for in places like hospitals and some few stores that chose to require them. In the "kids under 12 in school" category I'm in the "against" camp. This is CVON. Nuance has no home here.
