2) Is Germany the first to see this? No. A pediatric surge was also seen in Sweden as #B117 was rising there too. #B117 is now found to be more contagious in kids than old strain. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1369322809902702592
3) Cases are low in the elderly thankfully because of vaccinations. But worrisome still is that ICUs in Germany are still filling up and nearing former record rates. https://twitter.com/banesskylar/status/1384631073611603969
4) This also matches the data and warnings coming from Italy health officials last month who were also concerned about a sudden pediatric surge. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1366913795327750144
5) Quebec school reopening- notice any age group stand our? https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1369331493907161093
6) A figure on schools that is self explanatory what happened when schools opened and closed. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1364399105972273155
7) While true most kids don’t die or hospitalized— I have two things to point out: @LongCovidKids is real, and kids bring cases back to families. And we see this in millions of household data. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1367588701358845955
8) “Children are more likely to bring the virus into the household” is not just my editorializing — it’s a firm conclusion from UK’s leading SAGE expert group report! https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1345858404263321600
9) Which occupational group had among one of the highest #COVID19 rates in England? Teachers. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1364337853036187648
10) But but but.... what about occupational groups with among the highest mortality during pandemic? Teaching assistants are in the list in the US. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1355406044122513414
11) So for some optimism— we can keep kids safe. By wearing masks in classrooms, moving school lunches outside, and installing CDC-recommended HEPA filters and UV disinfection devices. See this detailed thread
