I'm sorry: I was under the impression that Oster didn't think she should be cited as an authority on COVID and schools (which is correct)?

It also contrasts a bit strangely with this https://www.wgbh.org/news/education/2020/12/02/mass-deploys-mobile-testing-unit-to-school-clusters-in-13-cities-and-towns

...which also just has all sorts of weirdness going on...
And also, of course, this: http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/inside-school-research/2020/12/children_account_for_more_new_COVID_19.html
