      📍Worrisome new data—new B117 variant is not only more infectious, it’s potentially more infectious in children 0-9 (+24%) and 10-19 (+14%), and less among 60-79, compared to common strains. More sobering—the R estimate is much higher.

      Hi Eric. Observing 24% higher relative incidence of B.1.1.7 lineage in 0-9 year olds in a particular window of time does _not_ indicate "24% more infectious in children". It may turn out to be relatively more infectious in children, but you can't quantify things in this fashion.

      Thank you. I tried pointing Eric to UK people who were trying to explain this as well. Unfortunately, he ignored, which happens often. I hope he listens to you. Non-stop, reckless sensationalism makes it harder to convince people when there is something real to be alarmed over.

          But then please experts stop retweeting him all the time. I am not directing this at you personally, but examples abound. If his takes are- mildly put- misleading, then how about not retweeting any of them and relying on the many other experts explaining things without spin.

          Michael Herf Retweeted Dr Zoë Hyde

          Status quo for most of America is "young kids don't have symptoms and can't transmit the virus". From a narrative perspective, "the new strain transmits in kids" is an important hook (even if it's not that much different).https://twitter.com/DrZoeHyde/status/1336612124835995648 …

          1. Updated thread on children & #COVID19, summarising recent research. Summary: further evidence children and adults are equally susceptible, and similarly likely to transmit. Schools have been a driver of the second wave in Europe, Canada, and elsewhere. #edutwitter #auspol

          Is there a good guideline for transmision of covid among kids at school? I am too overwhelmed to parse research papers, and while messaging from my govt is 'Children up to 8 shouldn't spread it as much' I am vary if it is more of a compromise to alow more parents to work.
