Have a source for that data?
Just because it might be lower risk to children still means that they bring it back home which gives you a near ideal vector to reinfect a large portion of the population.
- ahupp 6y agoCurrent evidence says that children very rarely transmit to adults: "Almost 6 months into the pandemic, accumulating evidence and collective experience argue that children, particularly school-aged children, are far less important drivers of SARS-CoV-2 transmission than adults. Therefore, serious consideration should be paid toward strategies that allow schools to remain open, even during periods of COVID-19 spread. In doing so, we could minimize the potentially profound adverse social, developmental, and health costs that our children will continue to suffer until an effective treatment or vaccine can be developed and distributed or, failing that, until we reach herd immunity." https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2020/07/08/peds.2020-004879 https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2020/07...
