De pratade om det på Vetenskapsradion häromdagen. Hänvisade bla till en forskningsstudie publicerad i Nature. Du kan lyssna här:
sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/1478785Tack. Det finns ont om vetenskap säger de, finns mest bara om "vanlig" influensa, och de baserar det på att "barn kommer att träffas andra iallafall". Barn "är inte drivande"; säger de - i en studie av 700 barn i Kina sa de bara 10 hade viruset. (jag har inte lyckats hitta den studien, vet du var den finns?)
Andra studier säger annorlunda,
t ex:
"
Notably, the rate of infection in children under 10 (7.4%) was similar to the population average (7.9%). " "?This may be the first clear evidence that children are as susceptible as adults to SARS-CoV-2 infection,? says Ben Cowling, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at the University of Hong Kong. He wonders whether the fact that outbreaks haven?t been observed in schools could be down to the fact that children?s symptoms are mild. Lessler says
it?s still not clear whether children are important in transmitting the virus, as they are for influenza; children routinely develop flu symptoms and are common hubs in chains of transmission. ?That?s one of the current critical remaining questions and we?re trying to figure out how to answer it,? he says"
