Personally my feeling is that real experts were consulted for the story, and when that is done right, as it was, that should have prevented this. There are cases where the reporter bears most of the blame for a story but I don't think this is one.

But this assumes, Zeynep, that the ultimate conclusion from those papers was wrong--and from what experts tell me, it's not. The bottomline is still: kids are mostly asymptomatic, but they do transmit--younger kids perhaps less, and older kids perhaps the same, as adults.

The papers may have been flawed, and may have received too much attention--but it's not like I wrote some rash opinion column, I talked to 4 scientists. And the take-home from other studies has been the same.
