Which makes the school closures an interesting debate because
If children are not suffering major symptoms and/or not picking it up then perhaps there is an argument to say having them in school is better, partly because parents (who may be in healthcare for example) can work but also to keep them away from their elderly relatives.
I’ve seen it suggested that one of the reasons for the high death rates in Italy is that there are a lot of families where grandparents live with their family.
Not a straight forward decision.
