Two studies: Young children possibly key to spreading #SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes #COVID-19. Most of those kids will have few symptoms if any, but besides spreading from child to child in the classroom, each child comes home to a family and may spread the disease to people who are more likely to exhibit a more severe form of the illness.
Maybe reopening the overcrowded germ factories known as schools is premature after all.
