[quote=Anonymous]Have you guys seen this?

Large UK study finds that under 18s "face an “extremely low” risk of illness and death from Covid-19 and have no need to shield from the virus"

They note that there was a jump in cases, but "about a 1-in-50,000 chance of being admitted to intensive care."

“There’s a general feeling among pediatricians that probably too many children were shielded in the first elements of the pandemic and that there’s probably very few children that need to shield according to these data,” Russell Viner, a professor of child and adolescent health at University College London, said at the briefing."

They note that little has changed with the advent of delta.

These articles aren't yet peer-reviewed, but that represents the fact that they're at the forefront of COVID research.

I find this reassuring.
