Evidence base on covid-19 in children, updated weekly - very easy to read and a point of truth about the effects of covid-19 in children.

Sounds promising.
I'm still a bit wary of epidemiological studies comparing contagion patterns between adults and kids, as lots of places closed schools very early, while adults still went out and about, so obviously kids would have less of a chance to get it, and would get it from an adult family member rather than from another child. Also I'm not sure we can easily compare transmission patterns between places with a one-child policy (small family clusters), and places with larger family units.
I guess we will get more relevant data as school reopens...

Personally I'm not too worried about my kids getting ill (although the Kawasaki-like illness is a concerning development to keep an eye on), but I don't fancy them being orphaned (or simply poorly looked after for weeks if me and DH both fall badly ill at the same time! I don't want them to experience for weeks the fear of losing a parent Sad)
