https://www.nbc12.com/2020/07/01/study-children-can-transmit-covid-like-adults/Here’s some science for you:
The study is in line with another published in Pediatrics earlier this month in which 96% of the children with COVID-19 lived with adults who were infected first.
In a related commentary, Benjamin Lee, M.D, FAAP, and William V. Raszka Jr., M.D., FAAP, cited a study in France, which found an infected student did not appear to infect 80 classmates with whom he had contact. In Australia, infections among nine students and nine staff across 15 schools led to just two secondary infections, both in students.

The science seems to be saying that kids are most often infected by adults and only rarely the other way around. One French study traced 80 contacts of one infected kid and found he infected zero[!] other kids or adults.
Apparently, there’s something with kids that causes them to not only get a mild infection but their viral load is so low that they are minimally contagious when they do get it.
Democrats are all about science, right? Or is there something like ‘election year’ science lol?
preponderance of studies, that’s hilariousNBC lol. Really?
There are some outlier studies and it’s not surprising NBC would cite one. In a sense, who needs a study? We know just from statistics that kids don’t get COVID often—and when they do, it’s almost always mild. In fact, the flu is a much bigger risk in that age group than COVID.
Kids are under represented in COVID stats and the only question is why?
The preponderance of studies suggest that kids don’t transmit it like adults do. If that’s true, they are unlikely to transmit it to one another or to teachers. How many teachers go out to eat? How many of them are doing the same things so many of the rest of us have been doing?
Yet they can’t do their jobs?
preponderance of studies, that’s hilarious
It’s a novel virus, Darth, they are still discovering much about this virus. It’s always better to error on the side of safety.
I have grandchildren, I’m very concerned about their education, but I am also greatly concerned about the spread of COVID.At the expense of the ‘inconvenience’ of young parents and their kid’s education and development?
You run with that lol.
By the way, NBC was only reporting on the studyNBC lol. Really?
