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 …

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.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Thank you. I agree with that. My concern is with the sowing of doubt around whether kids can transmit—not that you, personally, have done so, but that the belief is so prevalent that we need to be extra careful to avoid implying that we lack evidence to say kids can transmit.

Yeah, I didn't mean that at all. I clarified. The SK study was so weird from day one, the statistics were internally incoherent and I saw reporting scare the living lights out of so many parents, including of young children, 10-11, that they don't want to let kids outside, even.
