Description
Although there’s enough data to show that K-12 schools are not driving COVID-19 transmission, many are still closed even though bars, restaurants, and gyms are open. Brown economist Dr. Emily Oster returns to the podcast to talk with Stephanie Desmon about the latest data on schools and COVID-19, why many places haven’t prioritized reopening schools, and what might get us out of this situation.
