Association between living with children and outcomes from covid-19: OpenSAFELY cohort study of 12 million adults in England

https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n628

"Conclusions In contrast to wave 1, evidence existed of increased risk of reported SARS-CoV-2 infection and covid-19 outcomes among adults living with children during wave 2. However, this did not translate into a materially increased risk of covid-19 mortality, and absolute increases in risk were small."

"Living with children aged 0-11 was associated with reduced risk of death from both covid-19 and non-covid-19 causes in both waves;"

From the UK, where they've closed schools pretty much universally across the country.

Yes, the slight immunobump from being exposed to pretty much every year's influenza outweighs being next to one of the most socially isolated groups.

That doesn't mean that if they repoened you wouldn't see the opposite.

UK schools were open most of the autumn/fall term. They have been closed since mid-December and reopened earlier this month.
