whether to reopen schools
Jul. 31st, 2020 02:16 pm"...an outbreak at a sleep-away camp in Georgia last month in which 260 children and staff — more than three-quarters of those tested — contracted the virus less than a week after spending time in close quarters together. The children had a median age of 12. The camp had required all campers and staff to provide documentation that they had tested negative for the virus. Staff were required to wear masks, but children were not."
"The report is certain to add fuel to an already fraught nationwide discussion about whether sending children back to crowded school buildings is worth the risk, in large part because so little data has been available about children’s vulnerability to the infection and their ability to transmit the virus."

Date: 2020-08-01 06:13 am (UTC)Лабораторные исследования образцов показали, что у самой младшей возрастной группы уровень генетического материала SARS-CoV-2 в верхних дыхательных путях был в 10-100 раз выше, чем у детей более старшего возраста и взрослых. Это может означать, что у маленьких детей вирусная нагрузка выше, поэтому они могут распространять инфекцию больше, чем другие пациенты.
