      It appears that the rates of death and hospitalisation have been calculated by dividing by the total number of children in the population, not the number that have been infected, hugely underestimating risk. H/t @DocMoschos for pointing out.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-57766717 …

          Thanks! Please note the thread discussion about calculated CFR buried in the paper instead of using actual data from the period when testing in children was deployed. @apsmunro thought to calculate W/ seroprevalence but sample is different so calculation would be inaccurate
