We’ve posted many many many many many many times that kids don’t die from this.
If you’d bothered to read the thread you’d know this.
But they DO get infected.
And spread it around most excellently.
To their grandparents.
Who DO get it as well.
And end up in the ICU...
Kids are GREAT germ spreaders for this virus. You never even know they’re sick most of the time. Now go hug your gramma!
Will you sue the children who pass along COVID-19 to grandma, or is Disney World liable for this transmission too?
so where did those awful kids get their infection from?.....probably from some old geezer who spends his retirement going to China....
Actually — we know that kids are NOT showing up in the data for deaths.
We also know that the kids are vastly underpresented in the data for infections.
Of course, if they have really mild cases, they might not get tested, and wouldn’t show up. So we do NOT know how many kids are actually getting the disease.
We also have very little information about ANY of the community spread, much less information that kids are known carriers, or that they spread it around excellently.
For example, it is presumed that the primary spread is through coughing and sneezing, because the virus would be in the lungs; once airborne, it can hit people and attach to them, or get on hands, and you can pick it up for a while through handshakes, and spread it on your face. There is SOME opinion that it can be aerosolised, but there is not much evidence of spread that way yet.
If the spread is primarily through coughing and sneezing, and the kids get no symptoms, they would NOT be “excellent” at spreading the disease, because it would be in their bodies, but not coming out because they are not coughing or sneezing.
I have been watching carefully for signs that kids from households that have parents are now spreading it to other adults, but have not seen it yet. If you find it, link it, because that would be useful information.
