    damn it looks like LSU, Oregon, and Texas were the final three. No mention of UW in the commitment video

    And you’re surprised how?

    as much as I hate this staff... I thought Lake would at least have us in the top 3.

    It’s true. Just a bunch of burnt orange, bright red, frog purple, and rape green hats in these parts.

    Oh, and a fuck ton of cowboy hats.

    I'm thinking the schools are closed due to the fact that kids are the cute and lovable Typhoid Maries of the virus. They are less sanitary than adults and the "at risk" grandparents of the little carriers just can't keep their hands off their infected progeny. If the kids aren't at school giving it to each other, then maybe the community can stem the tide of the young and strong infecting the old and sick.
    This was probably a part of the reasoning early on but it seems to be that this isn't actually true. Kids don't spread the disease.

    @LoneStarDawg's chinfo on T-Cells seems like a pretty good explanation for this phenomenon.

    You list two bullet points that are absolutely supported by the science and then say that the school closures aren't supported by the science. Confused...
    Reading back through this you obviously missed the "This isn't being done to protect children" portion of my poast.

    The takeaway from that study is that closing schools isn't an effective strategy in a low-prevalence setting.

    Seroprevalence amongst the students was .6% but another study in Saxony showed a seroprevalence of only 1% amongst blood donors. It was not a hard hit region. Also this was 14-18 year olds not young children. I am also not clear on whether these students were attending school during this period, and if so, what precautions were in place.

    It is interesting that 23/24 students with household history of COVID-19 were negative considering the role that household transmission appears to play in the US. Makes me wonder about the cultural differences in Germany that may have led to them being relatively spared compared to other European countries.

    However, considering how strong our priors are (99%?) that children (especially young children) are vectors for an unknown disease based on all other known diseases one study of adolescents in a different country doesn't lead me to conclude the opposite.

    Then we have the new study of the Georgia camp showing a 44% attack rate (260/597) which is a likely underestimate since only 344 were tested (76% positive.) Campers were not wearing masks but staff did wear masks.

    So now I am back to at least 99% that children are a vector for COVID-19 transmission.

    Agreed, or at the very least, turn off the cable news. I don't watch any of it, but I get the sense there seems to be a lot less sensationalism in the pseudo-accountable broadcast news. I think it's doing the public a disservice, but if I were running a cable news network, I'm sure I'd hype every development as the most important yet.
