BREAKING: Children have at least as much virus in their nose and throat as adults do—and kids younger than 5 may have up to 100 times as much. This doesn’t *prove* that they transmit the virus, of course, but it’s suggestive.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/health/coronavirus-children.html …

It includes kids above 5, too. And the symptoms are mild, so I’m not so sure they are as rare as you are suggesting.

Yes I was pointing to kids under five having potentially higher loads. Symptomatic kids (5-~14) are disproportionately rare in almost all studies in all countries. Ticks up but still relatively fewer after that too. Seems pretty undisputed, no? Part of the puzzle.

Excellent point re: daycares. Daycares have been open for tens of thousands of US kids throughout the pandemic - mostly frontline workers - and very little recorded COVID transmission.

My granddaughter’s excellent, small Day Care closed mid-March. With Texas’ policies and infection rates in opposition to one another, they may not re-open. What a crazy, negligent administration. It all seems geared to short-term need$ & not long-term goals. Flip it Blue !!
