  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/07ruN657MVs   Kids are 79% less likely to spread CoVid to their household members compared with virus-carrying adults.  Australian infectious disease scientists present this conclusion after their study of 213 home transmission clusters living in 12 countries.   Only 3.8% of clusters stemmed from infected children.  The number could be as high as 21% if you only consider clusters with symptomatic kids and those where adults did not travel.   Children are 38% less likely than adults to become infected.  There was no significant difference in CoVid susceptibility between children under 10 and those 10 through 18.   The investigators speculate that infected kids spread CoVid less often since they are less symptomatic and may carry less virus.   https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.26.20044826v2.full.pdf   #covid #children #clusters #spread
