The whole truth about kids, schools, and COVID https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/01/just-open-schools-already/617849/ … A year ago, we had many reasons to think young kids would be most at risk in a respiratory pandemic. Months of data show something close to the opposite. The question is what we do with that information.

The challenge here is that much of this data is mixed, uncertain, and hard to interpret. Having many studies with the same methodology saying the same thing doesn't necessarily provide any more evidence if they all have the same biases

Agree. One of the things that makes it difficult to be confident in these studies is that all of the biases would lead to an underestimate of cases transmitted in schools. Routine asymptomatic testing & genetic sequencing could help clear a lot of this up.

can you point me to the highest quality sources for that claim? what I've read in Science, JAMA, and Alasdair Munro's compilation argues rather forcefully for the lower transmission rate of young children https://science.sciencemag.org/content/370/6514/286 … https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2771180 … https://jamanetwork.com/searchresults?author=Alasdair+P.+S.+Munro&q=Alasdair+P.+S.+Munro …
