KIDS STUDY: The large 65k kids study is being discussed. But few people looked at the table:

Kids, ages 10-19 years old, may be spreading #COVID19 a lot within their household (red)

So, if you have kids that age, your family has higher risk of COVID than young adults (blue). https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1284637879688470535
2) This study was published in a CDC journals. It was possible because of EXTREMELY DETAILED contact tracing in South Korea, which we do not come close to in the US. https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/10/20-1315_article
3) That said there are minor limitations discussed by Carl here, but the level of evidence naysayers demand (like proof that the secondhand smoke that sickened someone came from a smoking aerosol from your exact cigarette to my nose level of unreasonable). https://twitter.com/ct_bergstrom/status/1284644413470203909?s=21 https://twitter.com/ct_bergstrom/status/1284644413470203909
4) Also we know that index kids aged 10-19 (red) seems to have higher transmission among households than even young adults 20-49 (blue), because 95% confidence intervals of red and blue groups don’t overlap. Young kids (green) lowest, but similar to 20-29.
