Dr. Haseltine had some good info tonight and that you have to break down kids by age so here is what he is seeing:
Ages 0-6: kids transmit the virus the most of any age group by a factor of 1000
Ages 6-13: this age group will get the worst symptoms, ie hospitalizations
Ages 13-above: transmit and receive just like adults
Also he pointed out that since this is a coronavirus just like the cold, kids are the main transmitters of both colds and flu so you can expect the same with covid.
Some good news an Infectious Disease Doctor from the Mayo clinic is talking about his study and their finding that current vaccines is contributing to the asymptomatic people.
