Ep. 106 - Are Children the Primary Spreaders of Covid?
Manage episode 263748063 series 2459950

Today we break down research articles and expert opinions that show the opposite is true: while the Flu is readily spread by children, Covid-19 is not. The available data shows that children contribute very little to the spread of the virus, and schools can re-open without a “new normal.” bit.ly/vaxconv
