I'm also willing to bet that they are more likely to infect their granny than a kid who didn't have covid. What do you think?OK, what do you think is the probability of getting infected with COVID from a child? It is presumably greater than the 1/10'000 probability of getting infected by touching a contaminated surface, but how high is it really? I think I have read somewhere that a 9-year-old is about as immune to COVID as a vaccinated adult is, but I cannot find where and I do not know if that is true. What do you think and why? And is it worth closing schools because of that? You need to consider closing schools for more than a year leaves a lot of collateral damage. Children who do not go to school are more vulnerable to domestic violence, and domestic violence is less often detected. Not to mention what it does to the academic welfare.
