Kids with underlying conditions can die from food allergies. Let’s ban food.
i’m telling you nothing that is not what we know so far from science. deny it if you wish
and more will still die from the flu
i have looked. there are zero documented cases of a child spreading the disease to an adult
And science tells us they are carriers and spreaders.
that is absolutely false. There is no evidence that any child has spread the disease to any adult. you can claim it all you wish, it just simply has not happened to our knowledge.
there is nothing in that study we have not known for some time. It changes nothing, the fact remains. There is not one single case we know of, of a child spreading the disease to an adult. ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA. Rather than rely on your politically driven fears, I’ll go with the science. There may be good reason for this, its part of my own hypothesis, which, it would appear, may be true or at least mostly true.
Refuse to use your brain and connect the dots then. They carry just as much virus in their noses and can carry 10 to 100 times as much in their upper respiratory tracts. You are deluding yourself in a big way if you don’t think that makes them capable of spreading it to adults. It is in fact, a stunning level of denial.
I don’t need to play scientist, we have them already. The only stunning level of denial is from you. The question is not “do children spread COVID like adults” it is “why they do not”. There may be very good reasons, If you want to hear mine (which would be “connecting the dots” so to speak, I’m glad to share. They are mine however, and developed by me. I’ve been watching the science and it would appear I was on the right track. I posted in my back to school thread months ago what I thought might be the case, I have developed it further. But they are my ideas and so not “science” we know.

What are you talking about dude?
The kids aren’t magic.

They can clearly be less “efficient” at spreading it because they are smaller and don’t talk as loudly thereby producing fewer droplets and things like that, but they sure as hell sneeze just fine and expel plenty of material, I can certainly attest to that. And much of the material comes from their upper respiratory tract where they can (proven) carry 10 to 100 times as much virus as an adult. That material they expel will in the air or all over their hands or arm or whatever. That is clear evidence of their ability to spread the disease.
who said they are? Science is what is being looked at. The question is exactly what I asked. Why is it that despite in many cases elevated levels of SAR2 virus present the overwhelming majority of children do not develop COVID and do not as far we know so far spread it like adults do?

Nah, man. Kids have died from this. Not cool.
Pretty messed up to send kids to school during the plague.

Problem is, kids also die because school isn’t open.
politics of fear.
more kids will die from the flu, that is established fact. In every case but one so far, every child who died from COVID had other serious conditions.
