New Evidence Suggests Young Children Spread Covid-19 More Efficiently Than Adults



Conspiracists on twitter are complaining that they are not allowed to take their kids to see their grandparents so they can give them a cuddle. Old people are suffering, they say. Yes, it's true, pandemics are horrible.


Two new studies, though from different parts of the world, have arrived at the same conclusion: that young children not only transmit SARS-CoV-2 efficiently, but may be major drivers of the pandemic as well.

Boomers need to croak and FAST...

Most of the time the parents protect the children... at their own expense if necessary...

The boomers want to sacrifice the children ... what a bunch of human garbage...

Boomers lower than whale shit...

The real idiots are those that think we can keep the children off school for any length of time and that not have a massive hysteresis impact on the future of the nation.

No doubt those people expect to draw a pension too. Who are they planning on being their trained workforce?

Recent event syndrome and decision by emotion, all driven by an excessive risk aversion. They need to work on their mental game.

Neil it is called Trump Derangement Syndrome... you cannot believe what is going on over here ...

The self-educated which is why high speed internet should be free to all citizens.

Also, there's no reason people should be paid to waste their time when they might help educate their children instead at home.

"The real idiots are those that think we can keep the children off school for any length of time and that not have a massive hysteresis impact on the future of the nation."

First, before I forget, I want to quickly mention that NeilW bears a striking resemblance to Alexander Mercouris who is one of the two hosts on the The Duran show.

OK, that out of the way, just want to add that the truly real and totally selfish idiots are those who think they can open schools without any serious planning and preparation ahead of time. A for instance: Schools must be equipped with FAST, FREQUENT, and FREE TESTING.

Also, it depends on your damn community. If you live in a community where the daily infection rates are, you know, concerning as in NOT low, then maybe, i dunno, use your noggin' -- maybe not freakin' wise to open yet?

Btw, what is exactly a boomer? When I was a kid (still at heart) I thought anyone over 30 was a geezer. Just sayin'...

" If you live in a community where the daily infection rates are, you know, concerning as in NOT low"

Why is that concerning? The under 40s are barely affected by this. Get them doing the job, and allow everybody else to keep out of the way (lower the pension age. Just lower it for teachers if that is all you can get).

Children only get to be 5 once. Six months at that age is an eternity - and very damaging.

Really? So missing 6 months of indoctrination is damaging?

Damaging is correct but to whom? To parasites like bankers and their toadies?

Spare us your fake concern, Neil. Or your honest concern for damaged wage-slaves.

Btw, home-schooled children show none of the alleged damage you mention.

Google says:
Baby boomers are the demographic cohort following the Silent Generation and preceding Generation X. The generation is generally defined as people born from 1946 and 1964, during the post–World War II baby boom. The baby boom has been described variously as a "shockwave" and as "the pig in the python."

I'm a Gen X'er.
Can't wait to see these old geezers kick the bucket.
Covid is a helping hand.
