You highlight my point, if we don't understand children's susceptibility (which we appear not to considering the conflicting evidence) then how is the science showing that it's safe for them to return?

I don't believe that a persons weight influences their chances of catching the virus, more so that it potentially increases the severity of the infection.

US schools seem to be faring to a degree better than UK schools in terms of remote teaching. However since I've only spoken to friends and staff in NYC, MSP & SF that's more than likely a disjointed picture.
