With the coming together of many factors
Children who are naturally resilient need focus
1. No socialisation with peers/school settings
2. COVID news 24/7
3. Financial, Psychological stress in families
4.COVID illness itself
Children are extremely perceptive , but form impressions that adults may not recognise easily

#HomeIsolation #Covid19Karnataka on cards is a welcome move
It precludes >50years and those with comorbidities = fair enough
It precludes #ChildrenwithCOVID <10 years of age = Needs Discussion!
Impractical to admit (Asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic) children<10yrs for 10 days on their own
Worldwide data = hardly any morbidity/mortality in this age gp
Data = suggests they are not super spreaders
Both clinically and epidemiologically Kids can stay home.
