More out of Iceland = game over.
Big random n & genomic analysis so no guessing at direction.
“This 40,000-person study found that children under 15 were about half as likely as adults to be infected, and only half as likely as adults to transmit the virus to others.” https://twitter.com/apsmunro/status/1337085942570618885

Keep in mind that this means that the role of kids in driving transmission is likely 25% of that of adults.
For a child to infect someone, two events would have to occur—each of which is independently 50% as likely to occur among kids.
Thus, kids are inefficient spreaders.

At this point, those who trot out isolated anecdotes, guess work about transmission direction, or rank hypotheticals to drive the narrative that kids are superspreaders should be called out. They are ignoring the best quality evidence to tickle their deranged imaginations.
