Children can spread coronavirus among themselves efficiently, but young adults are the primary source of coronavirus spread, according to a study published Wednesday.

The study, based on a giant contact tracing effort involving more than 3 million people in India, shows most Covid-19 patients never infected anyone else. The researchers found that 70% of infected people did not infect any of their contacts, while 8% of patients accounted for 60% of observed new infections.The study also contradicts the widely held belief that children are unlikely to catch the coronavirus.

The study also showed lockdowns worked. Restrictions lowered the rate of transmission, the team found. Case fatality ratios, one measure of the death rate, also fell over time."Those who tested positive in May and June were 13% less likely to die than those tested in March and April," Laxminarayan said.

SHUT DOWN CNN BUNCH OF CRIMINALS WORK THERE WHO WANT TO DESTROY MY FREEDOM

STOP the fearmongering .. The survival rates of this virus per the CDC. 0-19: 99.997% 20-49: 99.98% 50-69: 99.5% 70 & over: 94.6%

No. stop with your evil agenda. Children do not spread Covid, nor do young adults. Healthy people DO NOT spread disease. Period. Plandemic. We are done with your FEarMongering.

Slide THAT into your dm's and twitch it.

Sorry for my comment. Any amount or by simply retweeting would be a big help for me. Thank you in advance💖

Go back to school. Go back to work. . .

No one cares

And almost NONE die because of the Coronavirus Scamdemic 'Follow the science'.

Does anyone believe anything the CDC says anymore? Make up your mind CDC! Or better yet, stop.

Be a patriot. Party on dudes!!! HerdImmunity

Great! Now we can get kids back to school.

Yes... young adults are spreading Wuhanvirus every night in Seattle and Portland... And we should all be blaming democrats for ordering their soldiers to riot all night long. Then... they blame the riots on Trump. Then democrats allege that its up to Trump to stop the riots.

Most kids have been out of school since March or April. When they all go back to school, there will be a huge increase in pediatric COVID19 cases.

'Superspreader'? What, these people now have special powers that make them spread covid more than other people? Didn't WHO say a month ago that asymptomatic people dont spread that much? Be nice if these health experts could get on the same page. Its why people dont trust theM.

My child can spread the flu too. 😱
