With COVID-19 cases still rising in B.C., a team of researchers is hoping to better understand how young people are impacted by the spread of the disease.

According to B.C.'s COVID-19 test results, nearly 2,900 cases have been confirmed in youth aged 10 to 19. Another 1,300 cases have been confirmed in kids under 10.

"So far, we have little information on COVID-19 in children because there have been relatively few cases," said Dr. Manish Sadarangani in an interview about the project posted to the University of British Columbia's website. Sadarangani said thousands of antibody tests are being mailed out to kids and young adults across the province. They can then take the test and mail samples back to researchers, along with a survey asking parents about possible exposure risks, like whether they're following physical distancing rules and wearing masks.

Please consult an Immunologist or listen to former Pfizer VP, Dr. Mike Yeadon. He will explain that antibodies are not what you look at, it's T cell immunity. Why aren't we listening to experts? There are people who understand this.
