      A really good thread on the SK transmission study. Given gravity of situation and inherent bias in many study designs I agree that we should make decisions based on what emerges as a consensus. bravo @apsmunrohttps://twitter.com/apsmunro/status/1284794506265722881 …

      A very interesting study here from South Korea, doing widespread contact tracing to give us a huge data set on secondary attack rates (SAR) for #COVID19 from different age groups But all is not as it seems... https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/10/20-1315_article … 1/7

      I wish the reporting would slow down to take into account that there is *excellent* post peer-review that happens within a day or two, catching a lot of issues quickly and adding needed nuance. Alas, headlines and takeaways that range from misleading to unnuanced is dominating.

          They have to be first, get the scoop or mislead people, there are no penalties, and a lot of it has to do with marketing, propaganda, and stock pumping.

          The headlines bit is a real problem. And worth noting may not be chosen by the reporter (or oped writer)

          One of the first sentences of the article is "And those between the ages of 10 and 19 can spread the virus at least as well as adults do." I realize quotes are frequently taken out of context but my impression is that the expert commentary leveraged here could have been better.

          What about this, @apoorva_nyc? does seem like the low number of kids in it compared to other groups and the fact that it was only symptomatic makes the findings less of a change than it seemed at first? I know your story got this in, but it does seem like people misinterpreting
