@gavinboyd2012 @SkyNews Agree the UK media seems to be using the report to open schools before it's safe, but who is directing them to do this? It is clearly not what is written in the report. #COVID19 https://t.co/skHpFaTr6C

Please please please read this about the school closures study. The leap to "school closures are useless" is incorrect and potentially very dangerous.

The Lancet går emot twitter-epidemiologerna (sad!) och konstaterar att effekterna på smittspridning till följd av skolstängningar är mycket små; inga under SARS och modeller för covid-19 pekar mot 2-4% minskade dödsfall. https://t.co/LISz3sOiEJ

Not having read the study myself, I find the quotes presented here to be interesting.
Great breakdown and a microscope over some very populist headline writing
@SaraFregonese Indeed. It's 'a rapid systematic review' based '16 of 616 identified articles'. It concedes 'it might be very difficult to disentangle the relative contribution of school closures'. It's a hot take. https://t.co/jKzYQihoCG

Far better articulated and informed argument on the evidence regarding school closure than I could make. I know it’s causing some worries for some so here is a signal boost for @DrSamSims that may go towards allaying some fears.

These are good points, and given the level of media interest it's a pity that neither @BBCNews or @GuardianEdu use the DOI and instead link to @TheLancet homepage, where it's not obvious how to locate the actual research paper. https://t.co/jexxEE07wr
This. Everyone needs to actually read the report. The media need to stop using language that seems almost intentionally misleading. The study actually says that we lack data, not that it is proven ineffective. There’s a very big difference.
