Children don't spread coronavirus?

[Twinklelittlestar1]

I've worked in early years settings for two decades and it's widely appreciated how many bugs get passed around between young children because they are so tactile with others/ hands in mouths/noses etc. So the idea that coronavirus is somehow different and that children don't spread it just doesn't add up. I've read a few things backing both arguments (it feels you can get a study that proves the argument you want) but are there any science/ medical people who can explain why coronavirus would be any different to any other bug I've ever known which is passed so easily among children and onto their adults? Why would children spread it less so than adults when the opposite is usually true?

@Mittens030869 Do you still have shortness of breath?

@Kitcat122 Yes, sadly, i do still have that, I get breathless really quickly. I also still have a cough and a spiking temperature. It means that I'm really limited in how much I can do. Compare that to our DD2, who only had it for 4 days.

I'm sorry you've been affected like that too.

The Derby case was admin staff, not teachers in contact with children. 7 positives sounds bad on a headline but it's a very poor example about spread in a school and could have been applicable to any workplace.
