Szamo's_Ammo Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 From Princeton University: Largest COVID-19 contact tracing study to date finds children key to spread, evidence of superspreaders Based on a large study in India, to be filed alongside smaller studies from the USA and South Korea. I guess British youngsters are just different when it comes to Covid and The Virus cares what your nationality is. Quote The researchers found that the chances of a person with coronavirus, regardless of their age, passing it on to a close contact ranged from 2.6% in the community to 9% in the household. The researchers found that children and young adults — who made up one-third of COVID cases — were especially key to transmitting the virus in the studied populations. “Kids are very efficient transmitters in this setting, which is something that hasn’t been firmly established in previous studies,” Laxminarayan said. “We found that reported cases and deaths have been more concentrated in younger cohorts than we expected based on observations in higher-income countries.” Children and young adults were much more likely to contract coronavirus from people their own age, the study found. Across all age groups, people had a greater chance of catching the coronavirus from someone their own age. The overall probability of catching coronavirus ranged from 4.7% for low-risk contacts up to 10.7% for high-risk contacts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 That's interesting that people are more likely to catch from people their own age. Although I suppose most people socialise mainly with people their own age so I suppose its actually pretty obvious 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) A wee update from Quebec: Those bloody French-Canadians. 30% of schools have now had confirmed cases in Quebec compared with 7% in Ontario (mandatory masks, social distancing, option for students to study at home). At least the UK has a world class contact tracing system... Edited October 12, 2020 by Szamo's_Ammo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Worth noting that one of the few compulsory measures Sweden imposed in March/April was closing down all educational institutes for 16's and over, leaving the rest for younger pupils open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess British youngsters are just different when it comes to Covid and The Virus cares what your nationality is. From those graphs in the actual paper, it does suggest a few things: If I'm reading graphs C.10, C11 and C.12 right it suggests that you are more likely to pass it to someone your own age, and in C11 and C12, and I appreciate I might be reading this wrong there is a greater liklihood of an adult infecting a child under the age of 18 than a child contact passing it up to an adult, by a factor of 4, I think... Looks like symptomatic prevelence in the US is quite flat over the age range 0-17, and is 30-40 per 10,000 vs. 200 per 10,000 for 18-29. Edited to add: the most interesting conclusion in that paper is further proof that this thing is mostly transmitted by super spreaders, and the majority of infections don't do much transmission of their own. Means our contact and trace system is back to front... Edited October 12, 2020 by renton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
