I've seen suggestions that the idea younger children might be less susceptible to infection with #COVID19 is a "myth", based on children just not being tested enough
That is untrue!
Whilst it's true children are under tested, this is not where this idea came from!

I’m so frustrated by the lack of good sense in what I thought was my educated city. Local Facebook comments telling parents who advocate for kids to have school that “hope your kids bring COVID home and kill you. It’s the only way you’ll learn.”

And I thought this was only happening in layman circles. Scary to see that it is happening among professionals as well.

Would love to see you breakdown the results/studies for us lay folks. Eg I’m interested to know the risk of “kid’s bringing it home”. Anecdotally, my wife and I always get sick at the beginning of a typical school year

But another strawman argument is “kids and schools aren’t driving infections,” when parents just don’t want their kids to get sick and get themselves sick. Kids are 50% less susceptible than adults, but we now have variants that are 50% more contagious. Where does that leave us?
