This seems starkly different from what we're hearing from other infectious disease experts like Michael Osterholm, who is saying we probably won't see large volumes of cases in the US until the beginning of April and continuing into May.
Osterholm has talked about how very few children have been hospitalized, and it might be a case similar to Hepatitis A where it rarely makes children sick, but they're still carries (so an outbreak at a daycare might spread to all workers and kids parents, even though most of the kids themselves are fine).
In addition SARS-Cov2 seems to be communicable for 7 to 10 days before any signs of illness show. Doctors have found heavy viral loads in peoples' throats.
