Two new studies, though from different parts of the world, have arrived at the same conclusion: that young children not only transmit SARS-CoV-2 efficiently, but may be major drivers of the pandemic as well.
The first, which was published in JAMA yesterday, reports findings from a pediatric hospital in Chicago, Illinois. The second, a preprint manuscript awaiting peer review, was conducted in the mountainous province of Trento, Italy.
The Chicago study examines the concentration of the SARS-CoV-2 in the nasopharynx, or the upper region of the throat that connects to the nasal passages, of children and adults. According to the results, children 5 years and younger who develop mild to moderate Covid-19 symptoms have 10 to 100 times as much SARS-CoV-2 in the nasopharynx as older children and adults.

More Fear Porn just as experts in pediatrics and epidemiology state the OPPOSITE.
Jeez it is so predictable.
The important take-away is not to open the schools.
For the election.
Because Trump wants them open.
If Trump wanted the schools closed, children would be the LEAST efficient carriers.
For the election.
One thing is sure. This will be contradicted, or this is the contradiction.
For the election.
Is Google and Twitter censoring this misinformation? I bet not, it serves the political narrative that the Democrats were trying to spin.
I wondered how long this was going to take.
Oh. Right. NEW evidence emerges after 10 months. How conveeeeenient.
I’ve been waiting for this latest Wild Card to be played by The Worriers. I’m surprised it’s taken this long.
Kids will suffer from too much lock-down. They need that socialization even more that we adults do. It’s how they learn to get along with other people and unpredictable events. Plus, they just get bored around the house all day.
At least many of them do.
I guess Business Insider lost the coin toss.
Fear porn is starting to look like an 80 year old centerfold in Playboy.

All this reminds me of The Litany Against Fear
https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Litany_Against_Fear
“I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
Teaching people to fear is a form of distributed murder, like being a drug dealer
Just in time for the school year.
What I’ve noticed is whatever we are told is contradicted later.
We’ve been told that children don’t seem to get any symptoms and so don’t have enough virus load to spread. Now comes these studies saying children can spread, but they are talking about children with symptoms.
The end result is fear because everything we are told changes all the time. Uncertainty brings out the worst feelings in humans.
Trump must be doing very impressively in the real polls for the propaganda mill to be stooping to this level in desperation.
The issue is never the issue..the issue is the Revolution.
The soft skills of the young people I know already sucks.
These kids will be disasters in the corporate environment.
Ever notice that when the MSM or some super duper scientist studying global warming or whatever else has some new apocalyptic wet dream, they always have newer and greater names for it: SARS-CoV-2?
Corona, Covid-19, Novel Covid-19, Novel Corona virus, SARS-Cov-2...
I suppose that makes them sound more knowledgeable.
Perfect timing. This contradicts all (from what I have read) other studies regarding children and the transmission of COVID. Just when schools are supposed to plan their reopening. Hit piece? Yep.
Be sure to read the comments.
You’re wrong.
We have always been at war with EurAsia.
