Kids 10-19 spread the coronavirus at least as efficiently as adults do, according to large contact-tracing study in South Korea.

I'm really sympathetic re the parents freaking out. I'm also honestly not sure how much minimally symptomatic kids transmit - especially when most studies define index cases on the basis of symptoms.

This study isn't answering that, though? It's finding contacts of symptomatic younger kids less likely to test positive, but ticks up with age. Also, their "index" is first to symptoms so not clear if truly index? A little confusing because it was done when schools were closed.
