https://twitter.com/JD_Coffey1/status/1237788088551661569 Going to be special when the first recruit gets coronavirus and everyone negative recruits the hell out of us The chances of a healthy 17 year old getting coronavirus are pretty damn low.
But a built-in excuse not to let them leave.

The chances of a healthy 17 year old experiencing severe symptoms are low but I think the chances of him contracting the virus is the same as anybody's. My concern isn't necessarily about him getting seriously ill, it's more because the optics of the headline "UW recruit contracts coronavirus on campus visit" could seriously fuck us over.

But it's not the same as anybody else's. As a healthy 17 year old he's not going to spend much time around unhealthy 70 year olds. By nature of the population he's a part of he's less likely to be exposed to someone who has the virus and if he is exposed that individual is less likely to do a lot of coughing and sneezing that make it more likely that they spread the virus.Coming to UW on a recruiting trip is a lot different for your chances of infection than visiting grandma in Kirkland.

What is this based on? I don't think healthy young people are any less likely to contract the virus and become infectious than unhealthy old people. Probably the scariest vector was the kid in Everett who was tested and returned to school before his test came back positive.

Probably the scariest vector was the kid in Everett who was tested and returned to school before his test came back positive. You're more likely to get the virus if you're around more people with it who are coughing and sneezing. Younger people generally exhibit less symptoms so they are less likely to spread the virus. Younger people generally spend more time around younger people and older people generally spend more time around older people so older people are generally more likely to contract it.There are other ways it spreads (people touching their face then touching you, touching a surface with the virus on it) but again these things happen more frequently when you're in spaces frequented by people with heavier symptoms. I'm not sure if having a stronger immune system makes you less likely to actually contract the virus but that wouldn't shock me either.

The schools aren't closing to protect the kids. They're closing to 1. Maintain optics for those who want them to #DoSomething. Reelections are a bitch.2. Protect teachers, administrators and other staff.3. Protect the families of those kids who could potentially get infected.The kids are going to be fine. In fact closing the schools cuts off a lot of kids from lunches and other services. It's almost assuredly worse for the kids to not have school right now.This isn't being done to protect children. Not by anyone who cares about the science anyway.
