Can kids spread the coronavirus? 'Conclusively, without a doubt – yes,' experts say

As school districts around the country begin to reveal reopening guidelines for when students return to classrooms in the fall, many parents are concerned about how the coronavirus could impact their children.

The White House has provided confusing statements. Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Thursday "science should not stand in the way" of schools reopening and "science is on our side."

A compilation of studies and articles published in JAMA Pediatrics found most patients under the age of 18 with COVID-19, the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2, tend to have mild symptoms and fully recover within one to two weeks – quicker than most adults.

While this may alleviate some concerns, medical experts say parents shouldn’t let their guard down. Children can still be carriers of the virus and facilitate spread in their communities.

Whether your child is entering preschool or high school, here's what you should know about the coronavirus and how it can impact your family.

Can children carry the coronavirus and spread it?

“I think the answer is conclusively, without a doubt – yes,” said Dr. Lara Shekerdemian, chief of critical care at Texas Children’s Hospital.

Surveillance screening, which is testing all children admitted to the hospital, has revealed a higher percentage of them carrying the virus and not showing any symptoms, she said.

The trend is consistent with data from Florida. About one-third of children tested in the state for COVID-19 returned positive results, which is higher than the overall statewide positivity rate of 11%, according to state data.

Masks ? Wear it if you want. Feel free to provide factual data that shows doing so stops a virus. Hint ... it the equivalent of attempting to stop mosquitoes with a chain link fence. Here’s the data that shows if you’re under 60 this current Covid is equivalent of a flu.

RE Trump.. feel free to list what you believe he should’ve done that he did not. The rest is just politicizing the China virus.

Truth

Just socially distance and wear the fsckin' mask when you are indoors with other people, for God's sake.

That has been my Mode of Operation for almost 5 months now. I've given up the gloves (in most places and stopped changing clothes in the garage.....although my wife thinks I should stay out there) It doesn't hurt me a bit and I can't infect anyone since I'm mentally and physically virus sterile. ( I can get away with that one today since the SI "strong woman stalker" seems to have earned a vacation for some reason...and I hope it's for 180 days)

I don't get the lawsuits on either side or the crybaby gripes. I just wish the weather would drop so I can support some restaurants with outdoor seating and draught beer on tap. I'm overdue and it's almost Oktoberfest time.
