So, let’s close all the schools and playgrounds
But by all means, let’s keep schools closed, though kids almost never catch it and don’t spread it —> Coronavirus: No case of a child passing to an adult exists, evidence review shows https://t.co/Kp62Mi17QE

From the article
London:Â No child has been found to have passed coronavirus to an adult, a review of the evidence in partnership with the Royal College of Paediatrics has found.
Major studies into the impact of COVID-19 on young children suggest they “do not play a significant role” in spreading the virus and are less likely to become infected than adults.
While experts insist that more evidence is needed, they note there has not been a single case of a child under 10 transmitting the virus, even in contact tracing carried out by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
Public health officials in Switzerland have announced that under-10s can hug their grandparents again because they pose them no risk.
Now a review in partnership with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) has found the evidence “consistently demonstrates reduced infection and infectivity of children in the transmission chain”. (snip)
While he said that it was possible children could infect others, there had not been a case to date and there was “no evidence that closing schools is an effective measure”. Further evidence from China showed when families had contracted the virus, children were “unlikely to be the index case”.
Early on, we knew that kids weren’t really having issues with Bat Soup. The only ones with issues already had underlying conditions. So, why lock them down? Sure, just in case. But, we keep learning more and more. There’s no reason to keep all this going full bore. It is just one study, but it adds to the growing body of evidence. Keep the schools closed, the parents have to stay home.
