Twitter thread with general discussion (by a pediatric registrar and clinical research fellow)
Looks like it's not so much a case of kids being Typhoid Marys ("They don't show symptoms much but spread this thing like crazy") so much as, they don't seem to be getting the thing all that much in the first place. Weird, weird virus. But the evidence looks quite compelling.
FWIW, I still think the schools closing for a spell is a good idea, but this is encouraging as we all try to work out how to reopen schools at some point later this year.
