Study indicates that more than one-third of COVID infections are truly asymptomatic, especially among children .

Thu, 2021-08-12 18:56 — mike kraft
Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis Asymptomatic infections have been widely reported for COVID-19. However, many studies do not distinguish between the presymptomatic stage and truly asymptomatic infections. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of COVID-19 literature reporting laboratory-confirmed infections to determine the burden of asymptomatic infections and removed index cases from our calculations to avoid conflation. By analyzing over 350 papers, we estimated that more than one-third of infections are truly asymptomatic. We found evidence of greater asymptomaticity in children compared with the elderly, and lower asymptomaticity among cases with comorbidities compared to cases with no underlying medical conditions.

ANALYSIS: We Studied One Million Students. This Is What We Learned About Masking.

Wed, 2021-08-11 13:03 — mike kraft

Big questions loom over the upcoming back-to-school season: Should children be required to wear masks? Should children go to in-person classes at all? If we send children to school without masks, we increase their risk of acquiring Covid-19. Some could suffer illness or die.
