Big if true.

Scientists do not understand why 99.99 percent of children under 15 either do not catch COVID-19 or if they catch it do not show any symptoms. Likewise, scientists do not understand why children who have caught COVID-19 but do not show any symptoms, do not pass the virus onto adults in their presence. There has, essentially, been no recorded cases of child to adult transfer of COVID-19.

This is exactly opposite of the flu where many, if not most, adults catch the flu from their child who has caught it from a classmate.

It appears that, if you’re afraid of catching the virus, one of the safest places to be is in a classroom full of children. Additionally, with this knowledge it is dangerous and asinine to require children from kindergarten through high school to wear masks. In fact, I would extend that, no mask option, through college where 99.9 percent of the students will have significantly less problems with COVID-19 than they will have with the flu.

Under 10 do not as readily transmit the virus. 10-19 transmit the virus just as readily as adults. It’s probably the kids under ten who most need to be in a classroom and so this should be considered as we approach Autumn.
