Send kids back to school? In-home infection rates are high!

Interesting Covid-19 survey results of 600,000 participants through AncestryDNA:

Furthermore, analysis of self-reported study data has shown that healthcare workers with direct exposure had six-fold higher odds of COVID-19 infection than the overall survey population, while people living with someone with COVID-19 were at 121 times higher odds of COVID-19 than the overall survey population.

Edit: In other words, a child that gets infected at school could spread it throughout the entire home.

The much higher infection rate at home compared to healthcare personnel working directly with Covid-19 patients is very alarming to me.

I doubt most family members want to wear healthcare-level PPE around their children during this pandemic.

And the teachers! Good grief!
