New Evidence Suggests Young Children Spread Covid-19 More Efficiently Than Adults
Forbes magazine ^ | July 31, 2020 | William A. Haseltine

Posted on 08/02/2020 7:11:46 AM PDT by definitelynotaliberal

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.

Solution: Transfer funds from public schools to homes for home schooling. If there is excess, give it back to the taxpayers. But if we did that, the libs would reverse themselves and call for children to be back in school.

Bullshit study. What has actually been found is the opposite - kids don’t get it and don’t spread it.

More fear porn. They are so often reversed that it's almost wise to assume the opposite is true and this is being published to get out ahead of the fact that kids don't spread it that well.

In most cases though, they are just looking for fear.

Throughout the history of mankind, he has dealt with corona viruses. This is another one. Throughout the history of mankind events and phenomena have led to periods of more of mankind dying more quickly than usual. Sometimes it goes on for a long time, sometimes a medium amount of time, sometimes a short time.

Usually when such things have happened there is a mix of facts, lying and outright hysteria and hypnosis. Usually in hind site the sheer level of lying and hysteria is remarkable, regardless of how hearty the seed of truth.

This is one of those times. Breath easy. You might get very sick and die, but much more probably not, and SO much more probably than not, that it would be wiser to put more attention into your awareness when driving or stepping onto a train, and almost everything that boosts your immune system is good for you and entails forming a good habit. Better to focus on that than reading fear porn about facts or lies you have no control over.

If someone susceptible, there are probably proactive steps one should be taking ANYWAY in their daily habits merely to make their life better, much less protect against this particular hysteria-around-a-seed-of-truth.

For the VAST majority of humans, the mantra should be "don't waste the Covid." For the rest -> just be as careful as possible.

No one has sneezed directly into my face since about age 3.

I remember I used to like it. Kinda refreshing.

Not a shred of proof in this “science”. Science is supposed to use inductive reasoning, but this is pure innuendo written by PhD’s — panic porn.

But America will continue its suicide anyway. Children doing distance learning is one of the biggest steps.

Check out the atmosphere the kids will experience once in school. Educational atmosphere, or prison atmosphere...hard to tell.

There has not been one confirmed case where a child transmitted the disease to a teacher.

Everyone knows that if we were to have a “fair” election, little to no fraud, fair reporting by the “sociopath media” that Trump would destroy “Senile Joe” in a catastrophic landslide.

Rat cities are burning, Rat crime is skyrocketing

Regular folks are unable to move freely

Local sports/entertainment is nonexistent, no public gatherings

24/7 Fear Porn of a virus that is deadly to less than half of 1 percent.

Hydroxychloroquine/Zinc/Azithromycin is the cure, but not allowed because it actually works.

We are at war with the Rats, Civil War 2.0. As of right now, only one side is fighting.

Time to rise up or we will lose what is left of our country.

Gee!!!!

Isn’t it a coincidence that some garbage study on child covid spreaders is released just before schools are to start??

If one were cynical, they would think this was pre-planned.
