    Does anyone know of confirmed cases/studies of children being vectors? I know they can be at risk and infected (asymptomatic or ill); I know the flu and school closure stats. But I was wondering about the state of evidence which seems lacking so far. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/22/health/coronavirus-restrictions-us.html …pic.twitter.com/aRIbFmkq4w

        If the child is the first in the cluster, but asymptomatic, they would not be the first to be discovered. So, if this were a finding from a peer-reviewed paper, that would be one thing, but it's an anecdotal report, so....

        This study strongly suggests that the reason doctors had not seen any cases of children originating a cluster, is because they are rarely symptomatic in the same way it would be identified in adults. Paper says they only found cases through exhaustive testing and not symptoms.

        Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but seems like Brunei has at least three cases of children being COVID-19 positive.

        I likely got ill via a child. I will not give further details on Twitter though. Also hard to prove one way or another; it’s possible that there was another route.

        I hope you get better soon! I don't doubt it's a possibility; I was wondering how much systematic evidence we have.
