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 …

For a review of what we do & don't know about kids, see this *review* by
@mugecevik@mlipsitch &@EdwardGoldste16. That South Korea study wasn't interpretable for transmission—yet the correction is less likely to have same reach.

Yeah, it is possible irrecoverable at this point due to lack of trust, especially after our Tweeter-in-Chief waded in. But yes, the relative risk has not at all been communicated well. I know lots of parents or school folks that believe that nothing can be done for any age group.

How does one weigh risk-to-benefits between in-school w. poor ventilation & shoddy mask use, versus at-home with little socialization & impoverished teaching?

For some cases, the risk is worse; it's haphazard childcare (not good from infection prevention stand-point) on top of lack of access to social services. Better to figure out how to prioritize most vulnerable as soon as possible based on realistic understanding or relative risk.
