This is certainly something that should be done, but given that infection rates outside of a small number of hotspots in the NE are all a very small percentage of the population and falling, I wonder how much they'll be able to deduce from even a fairly large sample size. >The study team will prospectively follow these children and their families for six months to determine who gets infected with SARS-CoV-2, whether the virus is transmitted to other family members, and which family members with the virus develop COVID-19. Late July/Early August is probably when schools are going to need to make a go/no-go decision with regards to school openings. This study will likely not have usable data before then, sadly.
