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.

And I re-emphasize, the study cannot tell us about transmission by its design, and should not have had a single article on it. I re-iterate: the study itself made claims that the data presented/definitions did not support & I don't blame a single NYT article—all of coverage.

In part, exactly it came out when people were making decisions for next year and was so widely covered. Tons of people now think that even 10 year-olds are *more* infectious than adults. It spooked people. Again, this is a whole media issue, and also authors being more careful.
