Children May Be Driving the Pandemic After All
A large study from Austria shows that SARS-CoV-2 infects just as many schoolchildren as it does teachers. Other surveys indicate that while young children may show no symptoms, they are quite efficient at spreading the virus.

Germany thinks its issues may be because of schools:

[quote]Such "community transmission" has become quite high in many parts of Germany and the [b]effect of the current "lockdown light" has been disappointingly minimal. Case numbers have stagnated at a high level,[/b] while in some regions they have continued climbing at an alarming rate. What are the reasons? Where are people contracting the infections? Is transmission only occurring in shops, which have remained open this fall in contrast to the spring lockdown? Or is transmission actually transpiring in schools, after all?

Because of the persistently high number of cases, the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina has this week called for a strict lockdown before Christmas – [b]including the closure of schools as quickly as possible. Chancellor Angela Merkel likewise pleaded with the state governors to send children into the Christmas break early and extend the holidays.[/b][/quote][/quote]
