The science behind reopening schools

from The Deeper Dig · host VTDigger

As schools in Vermont and across the country prepare to reopen, it’s clear that children who do get the coronavirus are far less likely than adults to get severely ill. Now, a growing body of evidence suggests younger children are unlikely to be the culprits in spreading Covid-19 to others — children or adults — even if the reasons why aren't totally clear. Guests: Dr. Benjamin Lee (UVM Larner College of Medicine), Lola Duffort (VTDigger education reporter)
