The latest coronavirus is different from past ones, so requires a different response
Estas considerações deste médico dizem respeito, em parte, a números dos EUA, mas os estudos que ele discute e as conclusões dele, relativamente aos argumentos segundo os quais os miúdos raramente se infectam e raramente transmitem o vírus são universais. A mim parece-me importante tomarem-se decisões políticas na posse dos factos científicos e a pensar nas pessoas e não em votos ou no mero poupar dinheiro.

It is true that children are far less likely to get sick from Covid-19, as compared to adults, but they are by no means immune. They can become infected and they can spread it quickly. A widely cited study out of South Korea showed that kids 10 to 19 were spreading the virus just as much as adults. In fact, they had the highest rate of Covid-19 among household contacts. Interestingly, in that same study, children younger than 10 did not account for a significant amount of viral spread. This was surprising because a recent study published in JAMA Pediatrics concluded younger kids may carry higher amounts of the virus in their nose, as compared to adults. And any parent will tell you how easily little kids spread viruses in their own homes. (When our kids were very young, a single cold in any one of them meant the whole family was going to soon become infected.)Coronavirus in Sweden — Its government, unlike other Scandinavian countries, opted for Herd Immunity and no Lockdown, relying on recommendations and individual responsability— Alfons López Tena (@alfonslopeztena) April 22, 2020
This is the result so far

This statement from Dr. Phil is stupid. None of the things he mentions is contagious.— Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) April 17, 2020
Also, the case fatality rate of #COVID19 is over 4% in US. If 4% of people who routinely went swimming would die & 15% would end up in the hospital, I guarantee Dr. Phil would not go swimming. https://t.co/UmOx7QBtkH
This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system.— Benjamin Alvarez (@BenjAlvarez1) April 15, 2020
