Nearly 280,000 US schoolchildren have had coronavirus: study

Source: AFP

Almost 280,000 school-aged children were infected with the novel coronavirus between March 1 and September 19, according to detailed data released Monday in a report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The figure accounted for roughly four percent of the total US caseload over this period, with children aged 12-17 approximately twice as likely to be infected as those aged 5-11.

The rate of new cases rose steadily during the spring and then shot up over the summer, peaking on July 19 with an average weekly incidence of 37.9 per 100,000.

The new cases then plateaued for several weeks before declining in late August -- though it appears they are now rising again towards summer levels.

and also in some schools that were late to close down and early to start back up. Plus all the misinformation out there about children "not being susceptible" to it.
