Evidence grows that children may play a larger role in transmission than previously believed
Latest study is small but shows that kids’ rates of infection and viral loads may make them silent spreaders.


"As schools reopen in parts of the United States, a study published Thursday found that some children have significantly higher levels of virus in their airways than the most severely ill adults — suggesting their role in community spread may be larger than previously believed.

One of the study’s authors, Alessio Fasano, a physician at MassGeneral Hospital for Children, said that because children tend to exhibit mild symptoms or none at all, they were largely ignored in the early part of the outbreak and not tested. But they may have been acting as silent spreaders all along.

“Some people thought that children might be protected,” Fasano said. “This is incorrect. They may be as susceptible as adults — but just not visible.”

The study in the Journal of Pediatrics comes on the heels of two others that offer insights about children and coronavirus transmission. On July 30, researchers reported in JAMA that children younger than 5 with mild or moderate illness have much higher levels of virus in the nose, compared with older children and adults. Shortly before that, investigators in South Korea found in a household study that older children passed on the virus as readily as adults, while younger children did not.

All three studies were small and contradicted one another in some details, so researchers said they could not draw any definitive conclusions based on any one of them alone. But taken together, they paint a worrisome new picture of children’s role in the pandemic."

How many moms wipe their kid's snotty nose when they're sick and fail to immediately wash their hands?

 

Yep and now that they are going out in the world... I assume most kids got out way less than adults did since last spring. Now they will be out there, now we will really know what happens in regards to kids.

 

No, but it's been gospel forever that children were in no danger, so the elementary school age kids could go back to school safely. This points out what anyone with good sense already knew, that little kids were walking germ factories, coughing and snotting all over the place.

The idea that they might infect their parents or kill their grandparents might seep into the national consciousness in two or three months. By then it will be October and the cough and cold season will be on. That should be a sufficient groin kick that the light dawns.

If Trumpists think education is critical, why do they continue to demonize it rhetorically and underfund it economically?
