Do all kids spread COVID equally? Babies and toddlers do it the most, study finds https://www.newsobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article253551579.html Children who are 3 and younger may be more likely to spread the coronavirus to siblings and caregivers in their home than older children, according to a new study. The findings, published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, are particularly sobering now that pediatric COVID-19 cases are at their highest since the pandemic began — and as a new school year begins. They also upend long-standing assumptions that kids are less likely to spread the coronavirus just because their chances of becoming seriously ill are lower than adults. The study does not suggest, however, that children are more contagious than adults. “In some ways, this is the opposite of what we had been told in the past. It just shows how humble we have to be when it comes to children and this virus,” Dr. Edith Bracho Sanchez, a primary care pediatrician and assistant professor of pediatrics at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York, told ABC News. “We always knew children could get it, could transmit it, and could get sick with COVID. I think we’re learning more and more just how much.” The researchers analyzed 6,280 Canadian households where the first coronavirus case in the home appeared in someone younger than 18 years old. (These first infections are called “index cases.”) Then, they measured how many members contracted the virus from the child in each home between June and December 2020. Babies and toddlers were the most likely to spread the coronavirus to others in their home, even though they made up only 12% of the proportion of index cases included in the study. Children between 4 and 8 years old were the next most contagious, followed by kids aged 9 to 13 years old. Teens between 14 and 17 years old were the least likely to spread COVID-19, although they made up the majority (38%) of index cases. Why might babies and toddlers spread the coronavirus more easily? Viral load, or the amount of virus found in someone’s upper airways, is suspected to play a role in how easily the coronavirus spreads between people. Several studies have found that younger kids may have higher viral loads than adults. One study published in July 2020 found that children younger than 5 years old can hoard up to 100 times more virus in their noses than older children and adults, suggesting kids could be a significant driver of viral spread. But other studies didn’t find significant differences in viral load, so the theory may not best explain infectivity among kids. Children are also less likely to show symptoms when infected, so caregivers may not know to get them tested, suggesting estimates about rates of transmission among kids may be underestimated. Another possible explanation is that babies and toddlers require more close contact care when they’re sick than older kids, increasing the likelihood their caregiver contracts the virus. But there are ways to lower chances of infection in homes with sick, dependent kids. “People who have parented young toddlers are pretty used to having spit and drool on their shoulders. There’s no getting around that,” Dr. Susan Coffin, an infectious disease specialist at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told The New York Times. “But using tissues, throwing away tissues, cleaning hands immediately after helping wipe your child’s nose are all things that a parent of a child who’s infected or maybe infected can do to help limit the spread within their household.”
10 Children have died from COVID in Florida, the 3rd most populous state, since the Pandemic began in March or 2020. 10. This is easily verifiable. And all 10 had significant co-morbidity. COVID doesn't affect children. You can post all the heart wrenching articles you want that show the exception to the numbers, but more children die from the common flu, or from drowning, or falling down stairs than from COVID. And there's nothing you can do about that very inconvenient truth.
So tell us how it’s going with over 8000 children out of school due to Covid in your Tampa-area school district? All the while pediatric hospital admissions hit all time highs.
They're out of school because lunatics like you require any child that was in the same zip code as someone who tested positive to quarantine despite children having no risk from the virus. The 8000 children are being forced to stay home from dumb ass policies put in place from shit bags like yourself who promote panic. Those kids are sitting home, bored or on video games. They aren't sick. And pediatric hospital admissions aren't at "all time highs", but they are crowded. Crowded with RSVs, the Flu and a host of other things besides COVID. Prove me wrong with data. I'll bet you can't.
The same zip-code LOL. They are out because Covid is being spread in classrooms while our pediatric hospitals are having peak administrations. It’s time for ant-vaxxers to stop pretending that Covid does not harm children and take effective action in school ms such as requiring masks to keep students in school as long as possible. You will note one common thread among most school systems closing for Covid — they are not mandating masks. You can thank DeSantis for this in Florida.
Children have the lowest risk of being infected with the Corona Virus but, GWB ET troll continues to lie and spread his disinformation from his fellow extreme liberal idiot hacks posting numerous articles to support their agenda of shutting down the US economy. It is all about control. No science, although, GWB and other ET trolls talk about science like they have a clue? GWB is no doctor, although, he believes that copying and pasting his extreme liberal articles makes him an expert in the medical field? This idiot is not a board certified doctor practising medicine. Numerous board certified doctors have already proven with their various studies on Corona Virus on what works and what does not work. Most of the treatment options being used in US hospitals do not work because it relies on vaccines mostly and masks, social distancing, etc. All directives from the CDC. No science behind them. When vaccines cannot offer you protection, let alone prevent you from transmitting Corona Virus, what good are they for?
First, you have no idea what you're talking about in regards to masks. The four largest school systems in the state (Hillsborough County being the 7th largest in the nation) have defied DeSantis and mandated masks. That's right, Tampa has a school mask mandate now. So you're wrong. Second, of the 8000 children being quarantined, almost none are sick. They are being sent home because lunatics like you think this actually stops the spread. And lastly, once again, the hospitals aren't seeing high admissions over COVId, but a host of other diseases like RSV and the like, many of which happen every year.
Tampa did not have a mask mandate before 8,000 of their students were out of school --- they do now due to their dismal failure. We will note that school systems with mask mandates are generally successful in keeping their students in school compared to school systems without mask mandates. In Georgia 5 schools systems in the state have completely shutdown due to Covid - none had a mask mandate. Isn't the objective to keep students in school for in-building learning for as long as possible. If schools that require masks are more successful at this then we should emulate their example.
