New important case study re: #SARSCoV2 transmission in kids. I wish they’d been able map out who was in what cabin. But some easy what-not-to-do takehomes:

What not to do re: kids and #SARSCoV2
🤦🏾♀️ ~15 people sleeping/cabin
🤦🏻♀️ “vigorous” cheering & songs
🤦🏿♀️no windows open/indoor ventilation
🤦♀️ false sense of security from one-time negative PCR tests (Tests don’t detect earliest infections)
🤦🏼♀️ incomplete staff mask adherence

Other thoughts:
* a few high-risk superspeader events lead to many, many cases
* all ages were infected, including 6-10 yo
* First symptomatic case an older teenager
* outbreak seemed to start during training session of older teens and adults (I’m nervous about college openings)

And here’s @ProfEmilyOster’s spreadsheet tracking news reports of camp outbreaks
Ok, “incomplete” mask adherence was too kind. Apparently hardly any masking, social distancing, or podding among teenaged/adult staff. 🤦🏾♀️
