  To be fair that's high schools and elementary schools. They're a different risk category, yet lower than colleges. College are really low risk too, though I haven't seen anything to indicate spread would be slow in a college setting.

  That makes no sense. All the kids are in very close proximity.

    Close proximity does not have to the the only factor, although all the world ist currently fixed on social distancing. How about children being less contagious? After all they are developing no symptoms at all in most cases.

      You can still be contagious without obvious symptoms. And allergy season could help spread the particles even if the virus isn't triggering coughs/sneezes itself.

      Kids are next level close proximity. They touch each other constantly in all kinds of way.

    And to paraphrase a post doing the rounds in the uk, elementary school kids are great at social distancing and never randomly lick you

    Kids don't show symptoms and the testing isnt there to disprove the conspiracy theory
