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.

During discussion on Andrew Marr show, it was stated that the ONS etc had said that there is no evidence that teachers are not more likely to contract Covid.

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.
