@GidMK @DrZoeHyde any views on this?
Getting attention in UK to say kids are safe & "should be tested less" (which feels like a big FU to teachers & vulnerable family who'd appreciate testing for kids where appropriate).
I have a bias of caution, so any real insight appreciated.https://twitter.com/russellviner/status/1310542680913575939 …

Hm, that's an interesting paper. Technically what they've shown is that the odds of BEING A CHILD in a contact-tracing study as a secondary infection is 44% lower, which is not quite what that tweet implies. A strange way to run the analysispic.twitter.com/9CDZHAdNL4

Generally it seems like their main conclusion - that contact tracing rarely finds as many children with secondary infections as adults - is true But what that means seems to me like a complex question

Also have to be VERY careful how we define 'children' here - the study mostly looked at people under the age of 10, for teenagers the results may look very different
