The NYT should be commended for rectifying their incorrect claims about children transmitting more #COVID19 than adults. Though, some serious upfront fact checking would have been even better. I also doubt the correction will reach a tenth of the audience the initial paper did.
The study itself had a lot of issues and no, one reporter cannot be held responsible like this. If we could, we'd wave a magic wand and slow *everyone* down. She alone does not control how the media works. I don't get the pile on on her; *everyone* reported it, and usually worse.

Why? She should ask people who know if the the study had issues if she can't figure that out. Not as if there's a global pandemic going on where we should all try our very best to try and calm the hysteria. The virus is the least of our problems.

A.....nd I did. Exactly that. And that’s why I said the finding about more transmission was a fluke. But they thought it was a good study and that is what I reported.
