Irresponsible headline from the Guardian here.

The actual study says school closures on their own have negligible effect. Of course not, if you let everyone else go about their daily business in offices, on public transport, gather at events, in pubs, clubs and other places to spread the virus then it stands to reason the difference is barely noticeable.
That isn't what it's saying.
"The University College London team says keeping pupils off has little impact, even with other lockdown measures."
(from the BBC's reporting of it)
