Auf Twitter gibt es mal wieder einen hervorragenden Thread, der mehrere Studien zur Suszeptibilität und Infektiosität von Kindern sowie Jugendliche und die Rolle von Schulen zusammenfasst:

Summary: Young children seem significantly less susceptible, probably less likely to transmit. Less clear for teens. Schools mainly follow community trends, but secondary much higher risk than primary

What does this all mean?

-Schools mainly reflect community transmission
-If you close everything except schools, you'll obviously see a disproportionate number of cases in schools
-Secondary schools are much higher risk than primary schools

We must do several things:

-Keep community transmission low to keep cases out of schools
-Provide resources to enable safe behaviour, especially for young adults
-Improve school infection mitigation, especially in secondary (ventilation, masks, testing etc
