One is an American study, the other, Italian.
Kids can transmit this easier without the symptoms adults have.
Yay - lets open schools
Kids Transmit Covid Easier than Thought
I don't know why scientists thought any different. Kids are little germ factories. My daughter had a couple of colds and an ear infection or two until she started kindergarten and she caught everything that was going around and passed everyone of them to me.
So...ok now we are supposed to keep kids in the house until this virus is completely eradicated? What is the end game with this virus? I though we were supposed to slow the spread? Every day there is new information that we are supposed to hide back in our homes.
Kids pass things around like wildfire. As pink butterfly said. I think opening schools is going to turn into a nightmare and then they will have to close back up again.

I think people became confused over kids because many seemed to have less severe symptoms or were asymptomatic carriers. But they can still spread the virus to others and to family members. And we don't yet know if there is long-term damage of asymptomatic infection.
