[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand and read the article, but I do not understand how both the article’s takeaway and the 5 months of data we’ve seen about this can be true. Most countries have kept schools open and have found that schools and childcare settings do NOT lead to outbreaks. Iceland has reported no child to adult transmission. So, how can this new evidence be reconciled with the facts on the ground?[/quote]

Read the actual studies pointed to by the article, rather than the article itself.  One was really badly done in that it lumped children aged 5-17 together and reporting the findings based on that.  And the other has not been peer reviewed.

And what’s your criticism of this study by the American Medical Association which says the same thing?

Your article, right up front, states:
 Children drive spread of respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses in the population,2 [b]but data on children as sources of SARS-CoV-2 spread are sparse.[/b][/quote]

New poster here. That statement is in the paper introduction, where they give the rationale for doing the study. Their study is part of building that collection of data. Read the results section. Of course data is sparse on a novel type of coronavirus, but that is not this study's results.
