I don’t think they are wearing masks in their location.

I'm confused about where all these people work that they were able to infect so many coworkers. How did the healthcare worker infect 3 patients? How is this person not wearing a mask? I'm at work and we have very strict space/distancing requirements, and we can't take off our masks unless we are outside of the building. So we have to eat outside. No one at my workplace, among 100s of people, have gotten coronavirus, even after several months of being open.

The kids aren’t going to work. That’s maybe why they aren’t the big spreaders in the chart. But I wonder how the grandparents saw the kid without seeing the parents? Did they watch the kid while the parents were sick maybe?

And an adult passed it to their 17 year old child. Yes, people are stupid but their risk taking puts everyone at risk.

A 17 year old is not a child lol. Maybe legally a child but not in COVID terms.

THAT was your main take-away from all this?

Talk about not getting the point. Or maybe you're just trying to deflect.

The news is that the 9 year old 4th grader infected two adults.

Kids aren't supposed to be able to infect adults, or so they are saying on the schools threads.

Nobody is saying kids can’t infect adults - just that it’s much more rare as this chart shows.

This chart doesn’t show anything of the sort. It has no information about the children’s social contacts. So, if all of the adults were going to work or gathering with others, and the kids were staying home and not going to sports or camps, how does that demonstrate kids aren’t also spreading the virus quite efficiently?

See news reports for Edina, Minnesota. Significant spread among kids.

Or google all the studies from Europe that have shown almost no infections caused by the children who returned to school in various countries in May.

These are countries that actually give a sh*t about education in the first place. They put systems in place to minimize the spread:

They also have a handle on testing and tracing. We don’t have that here yet by any stretch.

Of course not since our president wants to “slow the testing down”.

This makes me really upset. Was your cousin deliberately withholding the information so he’d be able to stay with you? Or is he so clueless and careless about your health and your right to make informed decisions? Is this someone you’re close with or was he just needing a place to crash? So selfish.

Sounds like my relatives.

Anonymous wrote:OP, you're ridiculous to interpret this as supporting that kids aren't spreaders.
Kids aren't around a lot of people these days.
This demonstrates that kids can infect people that they are in close continuous contact with, like grand-parents.
School is 12-20 kids and 1-3 adults in an enclosed room for over 4 hours a day. That's a lot of people, regardless of the face covering, shields, open windows and hand sanitizer.

Ok, but you realize that kids can infect OTHER kids, right? Schools are Petri dishes for germs-including coronavirus.

That’s right! Like the freedom to drive without a seatbelt!

Teens or elementary age? I couldn't find anything that really specified. I'm increasingly pessimistic on the chances of middle and high school being able to reopen in person this fall, but elementary could still be possible, esp for the k-2 set.

Kids are more apt to stay home and not mix.

Adults go to work, grocery shop, run errands, etc.

Kids can carry and transmit; they just aren’t likely to since they’re basically at home.

This all changes when they go back to school.

I tried to find the source report but couldn't.

I noticed that Family A had three kids infected, but none of them spread it to anyone. Interestingly, BOTH parents spread it to co-workers -- which means both parents were going TO A WORKPLACE. I can't tell for certain, but you would think with THREE kids, and both parents working, the kids are probably in daycare or have somekind of child care arrangement. They don't give the ages -- so it's hard to tell for sure. But, that was something I wondered.

I wonder how I’ll each of these infected people ended up being?

I am also wondering how they linked the grandparents to the 9 year old vs the parents.
