A really important thread on that South Korea/kids study that got widespread coverage that, in my view, was not warranted because even without extra info, its statistics were internally weird plus findings not in line with previous research. Plus ages were inappropriately binned.https://twitter.com/apsmunro/status/1292852036720091136 …

I'll clarify. The thread I linked makes it clear; there is really no claim that kids aren't transmitting. It's just that SK study had 10-19 conclusions that just weren't warranted, and headlines that were even less warranted.

FWIW kids die of this, mercifully, much less than the seasonal flu and are not superspreaders of it, like they're of the flu. That's not erasing the risks and the transmission question is of course super important and thorny but I'm also seeing many spooked beyond the evidence.

I didn’t read it that way.
@zeynep is talking about coverage of the evidence, not suggesting at all that there’s no evidence.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
