Have there been any confirmed cases of transmission from a child to an adult?

40 UofO students tested positive for covid last week and classes haven’t even started. That was just 1 outbreak related to 1 party off campus. This is gonna such a disaster. I pray for all the staff members being forced to teach in person.
if I had a College age child I’d tell them to take a year off. No way I’m gonna pay thousands of dollars to get sick and die.

If NYC crosses 3% positive we need to do an immediate strict and mandatory 2 week quarantine as a city. Those numbers are creeping up. Hope we learned something.

I think there's been confirmed cases but I don't see any consensus on how big of a risk it is. Some people say it's insignificant while others say they're a major driver of spread. (side note -- it's crazy that we have millions of cases but so little data comparatively on how this has been spread)
To me, saying kids can't spread covid-19 is like saying lockdowns don't slow the spread. They go so completely against everything we understand about respiratory viruses and the current science that the burden on proof is on people making these claims, not the other way around. It's certainly possible that there's something about how this infection hits children and differences in their cells that lead to an infection that doesn't spread as easily. But we know infected kids shed the virus and we know they breathe air like the rest of us, so I'm inclined to believe they can spread the virus.
That said, it's not outlandish to say that opening schools is a calculated risk we can take with the proper precautions in place. But the science doesn't seem to be settled on just how big that risk is.

Blake P Is that what's going on with Fresno Unified? My kiddo goes to Clovis Unified, and the school is still planning to have a dedicated teacher for those who want to stay with online learning.
No, private school. They now say kids doing distance learning will be able to livestream in. My son’s teachers barely know how to use Zoom and Google Classroom so I have my doubts. They don’t even have a real plan for when to send a kid home either, unless the kid has a fever, which is only present in up to half of childhood COVID cases. It’s up to the parent’s discretion if they want to send the child to school with “cold symptoms” as long as they’re fever free. Yeahhh...

6 going on 7 months now. Every day that passes is a step toward a solution. Through all the drama, politics, and talking heads, there are real, honest, hardworking scientists and medical professionals behind the scenes, on the ground doing their best to find us a solution and get us back to normal.
It may just be blind optimism at this point, but I truly believe that 12 months from now we're going to be in a much better place than we are right now. Just have to keep pushing everyday.
The human race has survived worse. We adapt. We get creative. We're capable of incredible things. We'll get through this y'all.
Looking forward to the fall season and spending the holidays with my loved ones who are all still here. Count your blessings, do something good for yourself, and stay the hell off social media as much as possible. Hope everyone is hanging in there. Be safe y'all.

They are the same ones who will tell you how they should get precedence when they start coughing their lungs out. Any responsible hospital director should triage these morons and let them know they won't get priority over people who caught it without willingly exposing themselves.

Time to roll it back.
Opening schools was the DUMBEST thing they could've ever done.
They don't wanna give kids laptops for distance learning but they'll risk more economic fallout from forcing them into class.
DiBlasio is a piece of ****

NY gonna start fining people for not wearing masks. Anybody want to bet this will target minorities almost exclusively? I for one will be happy when there are no more police around, let's get this defunding cracking.

Most people are wearing masks though. Especially indoors. What are those zip codes?

Fines arent restricted to indoors though and I see no masks in my minority area than non minority areas. I mean outdoors because I'm not inside a place where masks arent being worn..
