Which of those involves a nurse scraping the back of my skull?

I thought you worked at the health department for Christ’s sake.

Health departments do things that aren't COVID, and they types of COVID tests have no impact on my work.

Maybe not, but you should at least know the difference between what nasal and nasopharyngeal mean.

Children between the ages of 10 and 19 are more likely to spread the coronavirus within a household than younger children or adults, according to a new epidemiological study from South Korea. The findings, released on the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, come as countries across the world grapple with the heated question of how and when to reopen schools amid fears of a resurgence in cases when students return to the classroom. The researchers traced and tested more than 59,000 people who had contact with 5,706 South Korean Covid-19 patients between January 20 and March 27 and found that, on average, 11.8 percent of household contacts tested positive for the virus. For people who lived with infected older children, 18.6 percent tested positive for the virus within about 10 days after the initial case was detected — the highest rate of transmission among the age groups studied. Children under the age of 10 spread the virus at the lowest rate, though researchers warned that the figure may have been impacted by school closures and could change when they reopen.

Stop following the science, Rob. These kid's lives we're talking about, Rob. South Korea's basically made up anyway, Rob.

- Children aged 10-18 appeared to spread the infection to a greater degree than adults did.

- Infected children under the age of 10 averaged a 5% infection rate of household contacts, which is about half the household infection rate for adults.

Which is a great demonstration of why reopening schools for the under-10 crowd is safe, so long as you have firm control over infection rates going in. That 5% household infection rate means flare ups will be very manageable, if you can catch them early and contact trace them. It’s a harbinger of the same level of fuckup that reopening early was if, say, you send kids back to school while tens of thousands of them have or are exposed to the virus.

Assuming the results from the variant that hit SK during that time frame are applicable to the variant spreading in the southern US now
