Mav, He gets this way some days. Posts random nonsense in the attempt to waste your time. If you don't have anything else to do, it can be an amusing back and forth. But don't lose sight of his goal - to waste your time.
haha, saw some this morning at the bakery. Cept.. for they do appear to shed virus and infect adults even if their R value is lower. Touchy, clingy little things kids. Most are somewhat symptomatic, just 16 - 45% or so in a recent JAMA study were asymptomatic, but thats still over half that are. Now this is a problem for any parents, if you have a nuclear family this is a major problem. "While the virus was detectable for an average of about 2.5 weeks in the entire group, a significant portion of the children —about a fifth of the asymptomatic patients and about half of the symptomatic ones — were still shedding virus at three weeks, meaning they were releasing it into the environment. The researchers also found that the duration of COVID-19 symptoms also varied widely, from three days to nearly three weeks. A recent systematic review estimated that 16% of children with a SARS-CoV-2 infection are asymptomatic, but evidence suggests that as many as 45% of pediatric infections are asymptomatic, according to the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The signs and symptoms of COVID-19 in children are similar to other infections and noninfectious processes, including influenza, according to the CDC. "
